Last week, had this chance encounter with a family I know from last 5 years. I avoided crossing their path for their history of picking up fights. Unfortunately, I had to mediate last week and it was a real challenge.
I am still trying to figure out what makes people go on and on, without listening to other side of the story and coming up with amicable solution. Why do people have to prove themselves right. Why don't people realize they could be wrong too.
And if I am pointing fingers at others, it is applicable to me as well. I am still a very good patient listener. And that day, while coming down the lift, I had pre-decided that I would not raise my voice or show dissent, come what may.
And then it was also a chance to observe as I got embroiled in the situation. A chance to look at myself from different perspectives. One as me, myself, Other from the family's point of view and third from all the onlookers.
Has this happened to you ever? Have you handled differently in the past? What do you do when people keep going on and on?
