The General showed us his great promptitude to violence and commandment, but we convinced him that our fellowship could be the new event that will change the stalemate. It's clear that he hopes that we will take initiative in his favor but as neutral mediators, we need to considers both sides..."

Will you be more able than the General who just broke the unity of our mostali friend in our initial misunderstanding or are you able to do something more fruitful than him? For example like recovering the lost essence of our friend and repairing him...?"
