Hey man, strap on a pair!

This very brave article in the testosterone soaked world of commercial disputes: The Case for a Paradigm Shift in Civil and Commercial Dispute Resolution - moving from fear to love

"The current system for resolving commercial and civil disputes produces enormous community disharmony and emotional pain. Intense feelings of anger, sadness and fear often arise from the systems and processes designed to resolve disputes. These feelings and emotions may be seriously under estimated and arise from the experiences of the participants – clients, lawyers and judicial officers... Upon examination it emerges that the current system is based on fear – fear of losing, fear of money, fear of failure and fear of lack of control over outcomes. The current system determines disputes in an adversarial often combative fashion but rarely satisfies or heals them. It is argued that efforts to reform will not prove effective until they embrace a paradigm shift away from fear to its opposite – love"
