I contemplated a recent dilemma with the "in ten years. . . mindset" which means I thought about what this conflict would like ten years from now.
Looking at the conflict with this perspective led me to right action, because the repetition of good acts for ten years would certainly right this conflict over time. This led me to realize that more important than the conflict at hand is the action to remedy this conflict repeated over time.
We can use this perspective to solve almost any conflict great or small that we encounter. Onward.
