One accord is NOT compromise. It may not even be a consensus. One accord is accepting and acting in unity. Seeing the ‘bigger picture’ and acting on what is agreed as ‘in everyone’s best interests’. Obviously, the problem is in the definitions and ‘leadership’. Who defines? Who steps up and is the one who rallies everyone
Ever thought that most people are susceptible to this? You? You! How could I accuse you of this?!! Simply because anyone at anytime can become swayed by the Mob mindset, and (sometimes) be unaware till later. The Mob mindset is swift, emotional, and can blindside us when we don’t act according to the standard

Such a waste of time… not to mention energy and emotion. However, that logic doesn’t seem to affect our use of regrets. Evidence of our sorrow is seen in our actions. How we handle this – what we do… or don’t do – is the evidence of who we are and how we deal with this. Question:
Do you extend restoration to those who hurt you but regret this and want to maintain the relationship. I must admit that this is another of my favorite words… because the potential result (restored) holds so much promise. However, how do you define restore?
