Word?


Too much public conversation -- and private conversation, for that matter -- often seems to focus on fault instead of remedy. 

I have noticed that when I stop trying to find fault and start trying to find a remedy, it can defuse the emotional tension of a situation and enable all involved to redirect our energies. Suddenly we are not on opposite sides throwing stones but on the same side, working to build something out of those rocks we had been hurling.

Or some such thing.
