| Minutes of Meeting | Miss Aarti Patil delivered a talk on "Conflict Resolution & Inner Peace" on February 15th at our club, drawing from her personal experiences ranging from sorrow due to dowry deaths in her family to the joy of astronaut training at NASA. She emphasized the importance of unbiased perception, empathy, and maintaining inner calm to resolve conflicts. Conflict often arises from extreme perceptions leading to complaints, criticism, and opposition. Ego can disrupt inner peace by tipping the balance between self-respect and arrogance. Effective communication involves patiently listening to others' viewpoints, fostering cooperation, mutual respect, and harmony. Interrupting others and displaying hypersensitivity can escalate conflicts. Miss Patil highlighted the distinction between arguments, which focus on who is right, and debates, which aim to determine what is right, with the former characterized by heat and noise and the latter by politeness and logic. Maturity entails maintaining composure, which facilitates conflict resolution and peace. Being unoffendable is considered a great virtue. |
