Why Reconcile with People? with whom there was going to be some interaction. In this way, by assessing the real state of affairs that policy should be adopted which is possible in practice rather than what is right from the ideological standpoint. WHY RECONCILE WITH PEOPLE? One should seek reconciliation with one’s adversaries in order to save oneself from futile imbroglios and to remain engaged in constructive activities. Reconciliation is not to establish one’s rights. Reconciliation is to save oneself from the evil intentions of the other party. If the other party is just, there is no need for reconciliation. Even without reconciliation you will get your dues. But when the other party is unjust, this will entangle you in irrelevant things which will cause you to deviate you from being constructive. At that time, the believer seeks reconciliation with his adversaries in order to save himself from futile imbroglios and remain engaged in constructive activities.
