This guidance is President Ikeda’s response to a child’s
question and comes from an article in The Seikyo Children’s News (Japanese)
from June 8, 1997.
Q. I have quarrelled with my friend. What should I do?
A. Though you may have had a
disagreement with your friend, there is no reason to feel bitter about him, or
think about parting ways. Change the mood of the situation, and try to approach
it with a new and fresh perspective. In some cases, it could be that you are
more at fault than your friend. In other cases, your friend may be more at
fault than you. However, at that stage, take some time to reflect and then
initiate a discussion with him. If you did something wrong, you should
apologize. If you behave in this way, you will turn your quarrel into a chance
to develop an even better friendship with him.
