One way or another, we can find peace.

Conflict Resolved

This is ultimately the state we always want to attain. The one caveat we will mention here is to look for patterns. Resolution often involves compromise and promises. If the same pattern continues to occur and you are regularly accommodating the other person, you may need to recognize that they are taking advantage of you. In that case, you may need to alter the original agreement because they are not holding up their part of the bargain. If you are letting someone off the hook because you do not believe the item to be a deal-breaker, then you are, in fact, letting them off the hook. You cannot continue to hold against them that for which you are letting them go.
