Official and unofficial dialogue is the name of the game. Which can become official and unofficial negotiation. We all need to understand the English terms ‘dialogue’ and ‘negotiation’.
‘dialogue’ is between two parties, individuals or groups, who are talking and listening to one another, and willing to take some points from this kind of dialogue, to enrich the society, culture etc.
Negotiation could be understood as used in a time of conflict, when we disagree on the same issue as our opinions are far away from one another. We sit down as 2, 3, 5, 10 groups or parties to negotiate together because if we do not negotiate, we will not be able to live in peace.
Negotiation and dialogue need a beginning and an end, a concept and result, a vision and power to implement. Negotiation and dialogue without and end or power to implement is an absolute waste of time. And it could lead to what we become afraid of: radicalism, extremism, terrorism.
This would create a status quo of despair amongst nations - particularly the youth of such nations which will lose faith in us. Let us respect the value of our civilisation, of our religions and of our neighbourhoods and give in on our dialogue and negotiations so the other party might believe that they have won. We make them happy, and then we ourselves can be happy – not all of us are not looking at our own interests but at the interests of the community.
To create a win-win situation, we have to be bold enough to risk losing – to take the first step down.
