Conflict Resolution



Systematic study investigating truth
demands the diligence of an objective sleuth:
unbiased construction of the factual scene;
taking the evidence from all there is to glean.

Dialectic tension juxtaposes ideas
uniting opposites as the panaceas:
reason without feeling is logic without soul;
countered-weighted measures provide a balanced whole.

Rational argument and sound exposition
attempt to synthesize points of contradiction:
conflict resolution requires both sides to yield;
interacting forces where equal powers wield.

Inferential doctrine and syllogistic thought
conclude from a premise this formal lesson taught:
love is a virtue and virtue praiseworthy,
therefore on this basis love is exemplary.
