Might Need Some Conflict Resolution Training

From the Tarot Lukumi, the Five of Cups; from the Diloggun Oracle, Okanran (one mouth):

In this depiction, Oggun has been betrayed and poisoned by some seeds. Oggun, god of iron and war, had a dual nature: creative as a metal worker and destructive as a quick-tempered warrior. As the Dhammapada states,  "Hatred is never appeased by hatred in this world." And violence only begets more violence, which explains his poisoning. The sayings associated with Okanran emphasize this understanding:

Ifa: One must come to recognize that stubbornness is not beneficial; the truth regarding oneself must be listened to. Do not be overly influenced by your self-defensive ego.

Proverb: Ears that do not listen to advice, accompany the head when it is chopped off.

I don't think it gets more clearer than that!
