<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 color=red face=Arial><span style='font-size:
12.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:red'>If I have learned anything about the
reality of conflict, it is that when you run out of space (room) conflict
changes from an essential engine of life into a pathological destroyer of life.
When this pathology appears I find but one approach to be truly effective: Open
more space – anywhere, anyhow, with any one, about whatever. Seeking to
control or minimize the conflict will have a short term (positive) impact.
Things “seem” more peaceful. But I think that is illusory –
the pathology has simply gone under ground. You do not have to be expert to
open Space – human will do. And you don’t have to use Open Space
Technology – but it is definitely an option.</span></font></p>
