Conflict resolution

their unreasonableness is witnessed as presence smiles recognising all conflicts need love’s touch alone yet if it be so ordained that there is a call to arms then with a twinge of regret we pull the trigger

the title was perfect addressing the perfect conflict resolution--love's touch. Yet, when called to 'fight' we're compelled to kill...not a great resolution. Well done, Sir. Have a pleasant evening, Sara

True. But it’s debatable, since it is too passive to always turn the other cheek. In the Bhagavad Gita* (*holy book of Hindus), Krishna* (*avatar of Lord Vishnu, part of the holy trinity) used persuasion, love, compromise to avert war but finally when no solution was in sight, the battle of Mahabharata did take place, in which wrong doers were slain, albeit with compassion.
