It seems to me it is easiest to get along with those who agree with us , are pleasant , kindly, soft spoken and well-mannered .
We can find it extremely difficult to be civil, kind and desire to interact with those who disagree with us and question our motivations and our ethics. Those who seem to relish being hard-line and confrontational. Those who do not care whether their style of communication draws attention and creates discomfort for the person they are challenging.
Yet, Peacemaking is not only about dealing well with the people who are always a joy to be with , the people who are always sought out as BFF 's. So, How does someone who desires to TRULY become a Peacemaker in the FULLEST sense of the word deal with the people who you SOOOO!!! wish would tone it down, agree to never disagree disagreeably, promise not to embarrass you or simply do what ever they need to do to become more pleasant to associate with even casually
