Journal Eight

I think most of my conflicts end in a positive way. I try to solve them in a way that is purely honest so that even if that hurts, there's nothing that can backlash and it initially comes from a place of love. I am currently in a conflict that I don't know how to end because there's nothing I can do that won't hurt someone. I generally try to help people in conflict and try not to cause damage or hurt to others, but in this there's nothing I can do that will be a win-win situation. I still know what I think the right thing to do is, but I'm struggling with there not being a win-win solution to the problem. Generally my conflicts have both parties working toward an ending. In this particular problem, all other parties also want to solve the conflict without damaging relationships or breaking hearts but it's inevitable at some point here. I think the fact that the intention is there makes it less hurtful for some people involved. I think what contributes to the ending of my conflicts is a willingness of parties to reach some sort of compromise. I don't think my conflicts ever really end if one party surrenders to the other. This generally just starts another conflict that is in fact just a stem off of the original.
