Hello my dear friend @clayrawlings, excellent book you are sharing, I congratulate you for the explanation well taken, I must tell you that I found this article thanks to the reference of our good friend @crypto.piotr and I am happy to be able to read.
The numbers do not lie. Most cases are resolved before the trial. For that reason alone, mediation has become a critical aspect of the litigation environment.
This speaks of the power of reasoning that we human beings have in my country, Venezuela has a saying that says: "talking is understood by people", but many times people decide to reject mediation because they cling to defend their interests even if they are wrong no matter the interests and the reasons of the filial part.
I have always been a seeker of emotion. For that reason, I have been a downhill snow skier, diver (including shipwrecks, caves and night diving) and parachutist. I flew with the Texas Air Aces and participated in 10,000-foot aerial combat drills. I parachuted twice from 13,000 feet. My wife and I have run with the bulls in Pamplona, Spain three times. Almost gored twice.
Wooo friend, you have not wasted your time, I think you have led a boring life, an exciting career and a very nice family, congratulations and blessings for you.
The mediator's job is to facilitate dialogue and encourage each side to see the other's perspective.
It often happens that when there is a conflict both parties cling to their reasoning, believing that they are right and waiting for the mediator of a verdict in their favor, no one comes forward thinking of someone else's perspective. I am a pastor and I often find myself in the midst of some conflict that needs mediation. Logically nothing compared to what you do.
The mediators joke that the signal of a good mediation is when both parties are angry with the agreement. If both parties are disappointed with the result, then it must have been fair.
I think that this is because the parties in conflict come forward hoping that the decision made is in their favor, so when the final result somehow favors both parties they think it is unfair but in the end. It is the selfish feeling that exists in the human being.
Thanks for sharing with us is very good reading.
Let the successes continue.
