  Lesson Five

Short Conversations

Peace on False Pretences 1

Whittaker: The problem might be that you tried to make peace on false pretences.

Connie: False what?

Whittaker: Pretences. It's uh, well...well, let me put it another way. You tried to make peace by ignoring the source of the conflict rather than resolving 2 it.

Connie: What does that mean?

Whittaker: You expected Donna and Jessie to apologize for saying things that may well be true. Donna might be a take-charge kind of person, so Jessie isn't actually wrong when she says so. And maybe Jessie really isn't very organized, so...

Connie: Donna isn't wrong for saying so, either. Yeah, I get it.

Whittaker: Well, there's no place for name-calling. But there's also no point in making them apologize for being right about each other. Even if they did apologize, it wouldn't bring lasting 3 peace. Sooner or later, it would all come up again.

Connie: Well, then what are you saying I should do?

Whittaker: Well, I suppose before you try to get them to make up with each other, you need to make your own peace with them.
