    the stable: Pisces is sympathetic and compassionate, and can't undergo to confirm yet another individual in discomfort. certainly, Pisceans sense very deeply approximately individuals as they have not got a powerful experience of separation and individuality. Pisces is an instinct sign that could obtain tremendous proposal from previous. Pisceans are as a effect the organic mediums and mystics of the zodiac who can communicate their inner creative and prescient via the two the humanities or sciences. Pisces is additionally an illustration of selfless or self-sacrificing devotion, and is able to fairly unconditional love for others. The undesirable: The Pisces character has multiple sub-personalities who're probably to take over on the drop of a hat. They comprise the sufferer, the martyr and the saviour or rescuer; and as quickly as Pisces gets locked into those types, it relatively is extremely confusing to shift. that's stressful on individuals in touch, too, for Pisceans can inflict, or obtain, significant suffering whilst they enter right into a guilt-ridden section. the different detrimental Piscean trait includes the phantasm and confusion which encompass their potential to tell the fact - well-called mendacity with the help of the extra pragmatic signs and indications. Pisceans has a tendency to be too creative for their own stable.

    Making the first move to resolve a problem can be as much about ego as maturity. It really depends on the nature of the problem and the people involved. Knowing WHEN to enter the process is a sign of maturity.

    Usually the only time it's wise to always jump in and solve a problem immediately is when you are the cause of the problem. Circumspection and situation analysis are not signs of cowardice or laziness.

    It's a good Question. I do think there is two answers though. the (Mature Person ) typically has compassion and love in his or her being , which allows them to work freely towards a solution , while the one waiting to see is consumed with Pride..most unresolved issues are based on the fact that either one or both parties have their pride and because of it , neither one will work to resolve the issue.

    If this is a Work related issue where monetary reward or accolades will be given to the one who has the solution, then greed is also a factor but the above still applies.

    a misunderstanding can go down in a number of ways...often it is not a 50 -50 thing who was unreasonable, many times one person is upset and does most of the damage ; so it is natural for one to withdraw from the reaction of the other...and staying away can be a mature choice as well...who needs to reconcile with someone who has been unreasonable? sometimes misunderstandings reveal huge characture flaws and chosing to avoid future problems is a wise and mature thing to do as well.

    If a person has taken up the offense made by the one offending, surely he is involved, "if" he is offended. His responsibility will confront him when he goes to Lord with praise and worship, and the Lord will convict him or her. The one who step into darkness over whatever, his love for the law of God is being targetted, If satan can't find a MAY, 1 Peter 5: 8, who will try to create one. The love coin the law of God, is always the target and intent to destroy, with all believers. And noone should be off alert, better yet always keep the law of God in heart in the forefront. The one bringing or making offense, mat be without intent, but the grace of God will abound toward him; The auority of God as Father overrides my authortiy as a brother. And i will not make trespass taking up the offense of another. But the lord will give to His flames of fire at His will to rebuke, reprove, and exhort; and this is not self appointed neither is it as some may use this grace, as lords over one's faith, but for goddly sorrow. If indeed, a brother or sister should be deliberate in offending, and or if the Lord has corrected him or her the first move is obvious. "Great peace have they who love my law; in nothing shall offend them" ps 119: 165. The power for all who love God's law will have the power of it if indeed it is the love Paul spoke of in Romans 5:5. This is the love that never fails, and the one whose mind is stayed on it is perfect, in love. Christ was perfect here but many were offended in Him for speaking truth, and no one is greater then his or her Lord. sincerely edwah z j gbu

    God expects us to resolved misunderstandings as soon as possible. sometimes it is hard as our feelings are involved.

    But the one who does is doing the will of the Father.

    sometimes one will not be ready even if the other comes to settle things.

    The quicker the better.

    it depends on what the issue is.... who started it and who said mean things...... perhaps the person who is waiting for the first move is within her rights because the other person has bad mouthed them, humiliated them and caused them enough pain to be leery of even speaking..... or perhaps the person who made the first move is only trying to make the first move because he is horny! Need more information.

    It takes maturing and courage to make peace...Matthew 5

    “Happy are the peaceable, since they will be called ‘sons of God.’ 10 “Happy are those who have been persecuted for righteousness’ sake, since the kingdom of the heavens belongs to them. 11 “Happy are YOU when people reproach YOU and persecute YOU and lyingly say every sort of wicked thing against YOU for my sake.

    Yes it takes guts and a good heart to make the peace.
