I remember mom saying that there is two sides to every story and the truth is in the middle. Perhaps we could consider that are three definitions and three interpretations to every word. Living together in a diverse world requires our ability to handle our disagreements peacefully. This holds true for work, home, worship, social, political and most everything in between.
The Harvard Negotiation Project's William Ury offers a promising new way to look at the conflicts around us, called the Third Side - the side we often don't see in looking at the two sides of an issue.
Ury suggests 10 practical roles any of us can play on a daily basis to stop destructive fighting in our families, at work, in our schools, and in the world. Although in its infancy in our modern-day societies, these ideas have been used effectively for millennia by ancient cultures to reduce violence and promote dialogue.
Be the change you seek… “The beginning of thought is in disagreement, not only with others but also with ourselves.”
