3. When you come into conflict with others, how
do you resolve it
To resolve conflicts, I often keep silent, because I don’t think it useful to explain to them.
I don’t think responding with more anger would help, but in reality I usually find it difficult to control myself.
I try to put myself in their shoes and then find a good way to resolve the conflict.

Understand Some Quotes
How do you understand the following quotes
An eye for an eye will only make the whole world blind.
—Mahatma Gandhi
Peace cannot be kept by force; it can only be achieved through understanding.
—Albert Einstein
The first quote is based on a quote from the bible that says “An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth”, meaning that when somebody else does something bad to you, you should do the same to them. The writer means when you repay a bad behavior with the same bad behavior, it will only lead to something worse. So why not forgive the bad behavior or just ignore it.
As for the second quote, when you tell someone to do something without explaining why, then it’s more probable that they won’t do it. How is it possible to keep peace in the world By showing consideration and understanding to all people and countries so that no side feels they are losing.
