AMICABLE WINS
In the grand ballet of disputes, where justice often dresses in robes too heavy, too solemn, becoming entangled in litigation sometimes feels like running a marathon barefoot, in a storm.
Time stretches, energy drains and the soul comes out crumpled, like a letter creased by impatience.
And yet, there is an alternative. A path that is clearer, softer, more human:
choosing amicable resolution.
Why insist on walking the tightrope of traditional courtrooms, with their legendary delays, dragging on like an old film with a never ending credit roll?
In these arenas, where arguments are presented in ten, or maybe thirty, minutes, a voice might rise briefly only to be swallowed by the shadow of a ruling.
The wait to be heard by justice can stretch on for months, sometimes years not even counting the detours through appeals and supreme courts.
And still, the system offers only a duty of means, not results. The law doesn’t promise victory only the hope of being heard.
Take mediation, for example: It is a dialogue where every word counts, an agreement woven through trust and respect.
A mediator a neutral, benevolent third party guides the discussion so that tension dissolves, and conflict becomes not a poison but a mere clash of ideas.
Time becomes an ally, a precious tool used to build a solution that preserves what truly matters: human relationships, inner peace, mutual understanding.
Arbitration, on the other hand, is justice tailored to fit.
Gone is the generalist judge, often far removed from the technicalities of the matter.
Enter the specialists, experts, who know every contour of the dispute, who dive deep with the precision of a master craftsperson.
The arbitrator takes the time needed to examine, assess and deliver a decision that is clear, fair and above all fast.
No endless waiting. No procedural mazes. Just a firm, respected result rooted in expertise and tailored to the stakes at hand.
This choice offers priceless gains: time, energy, serenity.
As one cheeky comedian once put it, going to court is a bit like trying to solve a Rubik’s Cube while blindfolded: you twist and twist and hope…but there’s no guarantee you’ll get anywhere.
Whereas amicable resolution?
It’s the calm joy of untangling a knot with patience and intelligence like an old tale told to help us understand, not just to end.
Opting for mediation or arbitration is not escaping the fight. It’s the wisdom of not wasting yourself in delay and uncertainty. It’s choosing to preserve your balance and to aim for a decision that’s fast, fair and effective.
It’s not avoiding conflict, it’s taming it. It’s choosing, as a thoughtful human being, to win without bitterness and walk away with a sense of peace.
So when conflict comes knocking at your door, remember: The amicable path is not a retreat. It’s a lit doorway.
A chance to emerge stronger, calmer and most importantly…a winner. Adrian Vangheli-Stavila
