Journey from Conflict to Peace: 6 step TENDER framework for conflict management to attain peace, love and harmony

by Saquib Rafeeq

"Dear Reader, At the fore I would like to congratulate you for being bold enough to have the courage to accept that you are one who either has conflicts or someone who loves to help people to overcome conflicts. There are many in this world who deny that they have conflicts and portray as if they have a very peaceful life. I will be the happiest one, if it is actually the case. Going back to the days when we were small and used to play with our siblings, it used to be cheerful with absolutely no worries. We never used to have track of time, money, effort and all the minute things for which we worry and have sleepless nights these days. Looking back, we even in those days had conflicts. We had conflicts about the toys we wanted to have, the game we wanted to play, the cookies and chocolates we wanted to eat, and the dress we wanted to wear and so on. I know calling these little things as conflicts might seem harsh, but if we sit and realize, those were conflicts too. As we moved to schooling, we used to have other kinds of conflicts. Conflicts with parents, fellow students and others. Conflicts in terms of the sports we like to play, trying to be teacher’s favourite student, grading, roles in the skits and so on."
