(Healthy) Ways to Engage in Conflict | A Bit of Optimism #Podcast

We don't imagine a world without conflict. We imagine a world in which all conflict can be resolved peacefully. Exactly. Peace is a process. It's not an outcome of some fairy thing. It's a process. Can we deal with our differences constructively? And I like to provoke people by sometimes saying, I personally believe the world needs more conflict, not less. And that's not to keep me in a job. But that's because wherever there's change that needs to be done in families, in communities and businesses, or whether there's injustices, you need conflict. You need to engage. Stop avoiding. You need to engage it. But the way in which you engage, do you engage by listening? Do you engage by cooperation? Do you engage by using creativity? You engage by collaboration. Or do you engage by going to war? And we all know how wars turn out. Everybody loses.
