And if the other person/party does not agree to settle things peacefully/diplomatically?
How would you want it to be handled if that happened?
That’s why you bring it up to the community, so it can be addressed collectively. The guiding principle being An Injury to One is an Injury to All
Sounds an awful lot like a state…
No? A collective isn’t hierarchical, a state is. Profoundly different institutional structures.
You don’t know what a state is then.
Enlightened us please.
State, noun: 4a. a body of persons constituting a special class in a society
Asking the entire community to address a situation is not a special class
What does the “4a” part signify?
There are several dictionary definitions of the word “state”. This is the definition I’m using.
What if I hate talking? Can I get someone else to do it for me?
