- 09:58People's lives, ruined by conflict. I am not even talking about the large-scale conflicts created by people in power. I mean ordinary things. So much is destroyed by conflict.Conflict · Forgiveness
- 11:25No. It is unresolvable because you cannot bring that person's life back. Even then, from the perspective of the laws of cause and effect in the spiritual world, it can be resolved.Conflict · Spirit · Love
