#Peacekeeping

Conflict resolution is the age-old ritual of luring disputants into a verbal sparring match until both parties are too exhausted to resist mutual concessions. Masked in goodwill under the banner of peace, it quietly cultivates the seeds of the next dispute behind the scenes. No matter how much one pretends to ignore the underlying issues, the same table inevitably beckons once more in this perpetual loop. The ultimate victor is born in the ironic moment when neither side dares admit defeat, yet both yield in exhaustion.

Peacekeeping is the ceremonial festival in which uniformed third parties roam battlefields silenced by gunfire, declaring "Peace achieved!". Sometimes it stirs the conscience of the international community, and other times it props up diplomatic alibis. Ostensibly ceasefire watchers, in reality they are traveling verifiers of goodwill.
