Conflict Resolution

I just finished another module for training called, "Conflict Resolution," just before we visited the Medieval Crime and Punishment Museum in Rothenburg. If the baker made his loaves of bread too light he was dunked into a tank of water and if they were too heavy he wore an iron barrel. Poor old baker... Anger and resentment was inflected upon one another and enforced in their courts over the size of a loaf of bread. In President Hinckley's last address to the general priesthood he talked about anger and gave this advice. 'Once a man who had been slandered by a newspaper came to Edward Everett asking what to do about it. Said Everett, "Do nothing! Half the people who bought the paper never saw the article. Half of those who saw it, did not read it. Half of those who read it, did not understand it. Half of those who understood it, did not believe it. Half of those who believed it are of no account anyway.' "So many of us make a great fuss of matters of small consequence. We are so easily offended. Happy is the man who can brush aside the offending remarks of another and go on his way."
