Greetings hivers
I believe everyone fine. I have been away for some time now, based on my immediate activities getting so crowded. I needed some time to sort out everything, I am happy everything went well and I am back on this amazing platform again. We are all familiar with the saying that "the truth is bitter". Being a mediator mostly requires telling the truth, which doesn't favor both parties, but it is a way to remedy the supposed incorrect person. What the mediator does at this point is to help both parties see reasons why the situation should be resolved in peace and not result in a more complicated case.
There is always joy when someone settles a case that may have resulted in something else. This is to show that the right thing has been done, but most of the time the ending is annoying, which puts the mediator at risk of getting injured, beaten up, and inflicted with pain. I have been in several positions where I served as the middle man. The experience has been worth it because it has helped a few lives.
Years back, as a teenager, I always settled problems for my friends and even little children. I had a neighbor who was a bully. I never liked him because of the attitude he portrayed. There was a day when I was sitting in a retail shop close to my compound. I was sitting with a boy at the shop. While in the place, the bully came and started beating up the guy close to me. I reacted since I couldn't bear it any longer. I had to say something to free the boy from the bully. Immediately, I told him that what he did was not right, and then I received my own slap. That was how he diverted his attention to me .
I had to take it the hard way because I was never scared of him. That was how he stopped bullying the guy due to the encounter we had.
A mediator must:
- Be ready to face any insult from both parties and also try to tell them their fault after resolving any fight.
