Just as in DB - clearing up any of the problems would eventually mean someone comes around and realizes the hurt they inflicted and works to have that not happen again. Working things out means admitting to yourself that you may have had a part to play in all of this. Most people do not like to admit that they're wrong in any given situation.
This is why the whole world is in the mess it is. The people with a voice to try and change things get a button clicked on them to stop the noise. If you're the one in "power" you don't have to own up to anything............you can just press a button and make the noise go away.
Just like a walk-away spouse or an MLCer - if you run away from the situation you don't have to deal with it anymore. This is why all of us came to these boards to begin with. Someone deleted us out of our lives as if we never existed. I pray to God that I will never do that to anyone in my life. That if I am wrong in any given situation I will own up to it and try my best to correct it. Otherwise there just isn't any healing.
