World is full of conflicts. Conflicts of ideas, intentions and beliefs. Both sides view to the situation from opposite sides. They feel that the truth is on their side and cannot comprehend that other party also has similar firm opinion about their stand.
Unfortunately, both may be correct in their presumption to some extent. Because, many a times, the truth is like a coin with two sides and we can see only part of it any time. It is always advisable that we try to understand the opposite party's point of view and refine our understanding of whole truth. This also provides an opportunity for us to convince other party about our views and provide a last chance of avoiding conflict. Face to face discussion without any prejudice is a wise step to avoid conflict and its bad consequences.
War is a destructive brute force to impose our version of truth. Legal fight is preferable compared to war, as it is only a third party intervention to decide what is truth on the basis of established norms laid down by law. Here again, interpretation of law is a controversial subject and legal fight continues from lower level to highest level, depending on the determination and resources available with both parties. Time and money is lost in such long drawn legal battles. The final decision always creates win-loose situation. More important fact is the intention of fight may loose its relevance in the process.
If we are sure about our conception of truth, why not invite the other party for open face to face discussion. to resolve the conflict. If other party also feels that their view is correct will respond positively to the proposal. However, discussion can lead to amicable solution if both parties are ready to examine the facts without prejudice or self interest. If this happens, there is possibility to grasp and accept the truth by both sides leading to win-win situation.
Hence, before resorting to war or legal fight always give a chance to compromise.
