Summary
This quote suggests that true reconciliation and peace are not achieved through negotiations with amicable parties. Instead, peace is established by engaging with adversaries or enemies who may possess contrasting values or hold contrasting viewpoints. It implies that, in order to reach meaningful resolutions and understandings, it is necessary to confront and overcome conflicts with those who are difficult and challenging to interact with. This often involves setting aside personal preconceptions or prejudices and engaging in open, honest dialogue to find common ground and forge paths towards peace.
