Conflict Resolution vs Resolute Conflict

 

Out of ancient Ur of the Chaldees came a 

patriarch venerated through the timeless ages

for in Canaan Abraham and Sarah settled to

raise a dynasty in a region torn asunder in its

struggle for scarce resources where territorial

imperatives raged and population groups were

raided, razed, slaughtered and bereft. A condition

of existence marginally improved over the ages

to the present time. What has not much changed

is the propensity of families to quarrel among

themselves for siblings to jealously wish ill on

one another and Abraham's offspring to the

present day carry on this irredentist tradition.

Unequally endowed by capricious nature two

brothers' genetic code defined by their mothers'

bloodline as much as their mutual father's, but

both equally detesting the other; one unwilling

recourse to violence, the other immersed in an

unappeasable thirst for blood. Time, however

sees opportunities to diminish antipathy and

distance leading descendants of remorseless

rage to reconsider the family feud as a timely

disposable, relinquished to the greater goal of

unity in the face of adversity. Treaties of peace

and goodwill, diplomacy over warfare arouses

pride in accomplishment despite junior members'

furious disposition to get on with the bloodletting

aided and reinspired by the deadly enemy without.
