This painful incident highlights the disastrous consequences that can result from personal disputes when they escalate into the use of violence.

All members of society must embrace dialogue and understanding as a way to resolve conflicts, and stay away from violence, which only leads to more pain and loss. Violence only brings more violence and destruction, so we should be advocates of peace and love in our societies
