“See the system. When you find yourself stuck in an oversimplified polarized conflict, a useful first step is to try to become more aware of the system as a whole: to provide more context to your understanding of the terrain in which the stakeholders are embedded, whether they are disputants, mediators, negotiators, lawyers, or other third parties. This can help you to see the forest and the trees; it is a critical step toward regaining some sense of accuracy, agency, possibility, and control in the situation.”
― Peter T. Coleman, The Five Percent: Finding Solutions to Seemingly Impossible Conflicts

― Holly Black, The Stolen Heir

“The point of mentoring someone, after all, is to help that person get ahead. But these moments can also serve as a wake-up call to a mentor that things have shifted and changed, and that is not always a welcome change. People like to feel needed, so if you don't need your mentor/sponsor/etc... anymore, it can feel like a punch to the gut for that person. They might feel jeaous or surprised or simply unprepared, and that can put a strain on your relationship. But this is part of your growth, and growth always comes with its own set of challenges.”
― Lauren Wesley Wilson, What Do You Need?: How Women of Color Can Take Ownership of Their Careers to Accelerate Their Path to Success

“Convictions are infectious, and people can make others convinced of almost anything. We are typically ready to believe that our ways, our beliefs, our religion, our politics are better than theirs, or that our God-given rights trump theirs or that our interests require defensive or pre-emptive strikes against them. In the end, it is ideas for which people kill each other. It is because of ideas about what the others are like, or who we are, or what our interests or rights require, that we go to war, or oppress others with a good conscience, or even sometimes acquiesce in our own oppression by others. When these beliefs involve the sleep of reason, critical awakening is the antidote.”
― Simon Blackburn, Think: A Compelling Introduction to Philosophy

“Young children don't have the capacity to handle or resolve their parent's problems, and trying to involve them tends to break them further.”

“The propagation of ideas often begins with individual thought and reflection. Gradually, these ideas become words within the private sphere, where they find fertile ground to mature. From there, they spread through social circles and start to resonate in public spaces, solidifying into discourses that, over time, gain strength and legitimacy. When these ideas gain a significant foothold in common discourse but fail to encounter adequate responses or channels for dialogue, social tension increases. In this context, passive reaction emerges—characterized by non-cooperation, boycotts, and abstention. If the lack of response persists, the situation evolves into an active phase—confrontation. At this stage, discourse transforms into practical action, which may include physical coercion, acts of violence, and the organization of movements aimed at weakening the opposing side. If the reaction continues, organized groups tend to unify, forming larger collectives that often culminate in rebellions. The final stage may involve the use of weapons, revolution, or even open warfare. These processes demonstrate that the escalation of conflicts is, in most cases, the result of a lack of respect for alterity, the failure to embrace dialogue as a means of resolution, the absence of negotiation, and a disregard for pacification. On many occasions, mutual recognition and a willingness to compromise could have mitigated the escalation and its destructive consequences.”
