EVITABLE AND INEVITABLE CONFLICTS

As a professional mediator
I can say with all sense of 
responsibility that by virtue 
of human nature some conflicts
 are inevitable but resolvable,
while some evitable but irresolvable.

When you try to prevent a conflict 
and you failed then concentrate on resolving it.
If the conflict is the type that cannot be resolved,
you have to do whatever you need to do
 to limit collateral damages.

In other words, if conflict prevention fails
 move to conflict resolution and
 if conflict resolution fails
 move to conflict damage control.
