There are three principles in a man's being and life,the principle of thought,the principle of speech,and the principle of action. The origin of all conflict between me and my fellow-men is that I do not say what I mean and I don't do what I say.
-Martin Buber

"No doubt there are other important things in life besides conflict,but there are not many other things so inevitably interesting. The very saints interest us most when we think of them as enganged in a conflict with the Devil."
-Robert Lynd,The Blue Lion
Jesus taught us how to forgive out of love,how to forget out of humility. So let us examine our hearts and see if there is any unforgiven hurt -- any unforgotten bitterness! It is easy to love those who are far away. It isn't always easy to love those who are right next to us. It is easier to offer food to the hungry than to answer the lonely suffering of someone who lacks love right in one’s own family. The world today is upside down because there is so very little love in the home,and in family life. We have no time for each other. Everybody is in such a terrible rush,and so anxious ... and in the home begins the disruption of the peace of the world.
-Mother Theresa..
