Happy new week, I bring special greetings to my beloved people of Hive. Welcome to my entry on week 29 Edition 01 contest.

I often dislike seeing two people in disagreements. I grew up to be someone that loves peace and would do anything at all to make sure it stands. I have settled a lot of disagreement between people most especially from my home. I have a lot of younger ones that automatically makes me a chief judge 🤣, and it is a nice one. Ensuring that people around you live in peace with each other is one act of goodness that money can not offer. Reconciling people can save life and bring better understanding amongst men. He that settles a dispute is a father while he that overlooks it is a killer, regardless of age. Lack of understanding among men is what causes hatred, oh! If only there was someone to bring light and cause the eyes to see folly when it started, peace would have reigned all over the world. A skillful and wise mediator is more than a legion with just few words of wisdom wrath that can claim the life of a generation can be overturned.

The Experience
One fateful evening, I was on my way to Church for an evening prayer meeting. While I was still trekking down the street. I heard a shout and a sound that looks as though someone was in trouble, that called my attention so I decided to go towards the direction from which the sound was coming from. While I was yet coming from a distance I saw some boys standing with their arms folded as though they were watching a movie.

When I drew closer I saw two boys exchanging serious blows. Ah! Ah! What is happening? And people were around watching these guys fighting and were laughing. That got me so annoyed, so I jumped into the scene and separated the boys. They were very young boys I think between the age of 14-16. I have a very small body structure so while I was still trying to separate the boys. They almost kicked me off with blows infact one of them looked me in the face intently before he stopped probably he saw my beards that was why he stopped 🤣 🤣 I look very small, you understand right?🤣🤣

After separating the fight I was about asking what caused the fight then someone tapped me at the back, I then decided to turn and see who it was, behold! It was one of the guys that were watching the fight and he was a student of one polytechnic in my place. Oga, what is it, I asked? Then he was like why did you separate the fight? Do you know what the other guy did? Hmm! I have anger issues but I don't know how I managed to control myself over that stupid question. I had to neglect him and attend to the boy. Do you know I didn't realize that one of the boys in the fight is my area boy and I know his mom very well. On seeing his face, I called his name BoBo! What is happening? I don't know you with this character? What happened? And he explained some stuffs that sounded funny. Honestly I don't really understand what he was saying but the little I could remember was, that the other guy collected something that belongs to him so he followed the guy to his house and threatened him even slapping him but that was some days back then today he was sent to fetch water and the other guy came from nowhere and began rushing him with blows. Hmmm! I turned to the other guy who look more matured than Bobo, and spoke and asked what happened? He has not started talking before someone pushed me. What? It was that same guy that was asking why I separated the fight. What is your problem I asked again? He started ranting like he was prepared for a fight. I calmly asked the boys fighting to both go home and they left. Then I turned to the other guy this time around my anger was Kindled. What is wrong with you, if these boys were your siblings would you watch them fight? God forbid if any of them gets killed or injured badly can you make good that evil? You are grown only on the outward but inside I can see you are still a child and I was about to leave . I never knew the words I said offended him and he removed his shirt to fight me . As soon as he started using abusive words I thought leaving the scene would be better. But before I left a boy who knew me came by and I told him everything that happened in detail as soon as am done, he off his shirt and went straight to fight the boy 😬😬😬 I had to still go back and beg again. I came here to separate a fight not to start one, I know my area boys very well once they start a fight they don't stop until they spill blood. They don't mind fighting a person for a complete week, anywhere they meet you. They can even go the extent of following a person to his house to butcher him. I don't want to be the reason why someone will be hospitalized. I calmed my friend and he heeded my advice and left but the other guy was still making mouth. I pitied him because he was a new person in that community. Well I left the scene after my friend left and I was almost discouraged not to go to church but I kicked that thought away and headed straight to church.

Was I able to achieve my goal?
Yes, I was able to stop the boys from fighting, I think that was the end of the fight between the boys, for if they had fought again, I would have heard it. Do you know that one of the boys that were fighting uptil date respects me and calls me uncle anywhere he sees me? Beside that one I was also able to prevent my area guy from fighting that student who objected my action moreover I had to follow up my area guy and beg him not to go to the boys house and cause him harm. Because he swore that he was going to butcher the guy after the boy told him some offensive stuffs. Meanwhile that night my cousin brother went to the student Lodge and sought for the boy to beat him but the students hid him it was in the morning I got that news. I had to visit my cousin and beg him to let go the boy because I don't have anything against him, so I guess I achieved my goal.

How did I achieve it?
It was through begging both parties and making them understand the need for peace rather than war. Victory is not always won by strength. The most powerful tool in conquering battles is understanding. I knew that if I allowed the fights to go on someone would get injured and God forbid if he doesn't loose his life. What could that profit me? I put myself in everyone's shoes and assume the pains and damage they would go through if I allowed them display the heat in their hearts. After considering all those things I knew how to approach everyone of them and the right kind of words to give to everyone. Today me and that students are cool and he calls me sir🤣🤣🤣. I don't know if he remembers my face though but it took me time to remember that he was the guy that wanted fighting me for separating a fight, I forgot everything and even his face.

You explained them both well so they understood. If you were not there then, maybe they both or one of them would have been found in the hospital. Hehe

But thank God, you ended their quarrel.💕

Sometimes, I call those kind of people the unfortunate one. Why didn't he separate the fight and was blaming you for settling it? Such people should be ignored and I love how you resolved it with begging.

There was absolutely nothing I could do rather than to beg. I don't have strength to even fight him.
Thank you so much for visiting my blog and for this wonderful comment. I really appreciate ♥️🥰
