You know, as a peacemaker - mediator - I've helped hundreds of people resolve disputes over the years. Often folks arrive at the mediation table ready for "peace at any price" because they were tired out, tapped out and tuned out. But the most satisfying and productive outcomes never happen when we settle for peace at any price. The best and longest-lasting resolutions come when people roll up their sleeves and do the hard work of problem solving . . . the humbling work of reconciliation . . . and the character-building work of finding an outcome that seeks the good for all stakeholders at the table.
Peace at any price? No, that's a cop-out and thank God our nation's forefathers went a different route. Peace through integrity, tenacity and courage? Now that's revolutionary.
