Breaking Point

When the walls close in and the valves are shut, slowly but steadily the pressure builds until it reaches the breaking point. Extreme responses may quiet the situation but without real changes those same elements build up again.

The only solution is to find balance. Give the proper channels to search for self-actualization and for the common good simultaneously. Look for middle ground, no one is right all of the time. Pay attention to the points of contention and encourage mediation and agreement.

The only real good deal is the one when both parties walk away knowing that they gave up something but it was necessary and equal to what they gained.
