Love peace and hate discord

Love peace and hate discord

A person should avoid participating in quarrels and prefer to resolve issues through peaceful means.

("And if your friends have wronged you, whether in sitting or in standing, make peace with them so that peace will come and rest upon your couch. And so said R’ Eleazar HaKappar: Love peace, and hate discord. Great is peace, for even when Israel worships idolatry and there is peace among them, the Holy One, Blessed be He, says, ‘It is not my will to touch them.’" – Minor Tractates, Derech Eretz 7:37)

Definition (Hebrew)

עַל הָאָדָם לְהִמָּנַע מֵהִשְׁתַּתְּפוּת בִּמְרִיבוֹת וּלְהַעֲדִיף לִפְתֹּר בְּעָיוֹת בְּדַרְכֵי שָׁלוֹם.

("וְאִם גְּזָלוּךָ חֲבֵרֵךְ בֵּין בַּיְּשִׁיבָה בֵּין בְּהֶסֵּבָהּ, עֲשֵׂה עִמָּהֶם שָׁלוֹם כְּדֵי שִׁיבָּא שָׁלוֹם וְיָנוֹחַ עַל מִשְׁכָּבְךָ. וְכֵן הָיָה ר' אֶלְעָזָר הַקַּפָּר אוֹמֵר, אָהֲבוּ אֶת הַשָּׁלוֹם, וְשָׂנְאוּ אֶת הַמַּחֲלֹקֶת, גָּדוֹל הַשָּׁלוֹם, שֶׁאֲפִלּוּ בְּשָׁעָה שֶׁיִּשְׂרָאֵל עָבְדֵן עֲבוֹדָה זָרָה וְיֵשׁ שָׁלוֹם בֵּינֵיהֶם, אוֹמֵר הַקָּדוֹשׁ בָּרוּךְ הוּא אֵין רְצוֹנִי לְיַגֵּעַ בָּהֶן" - מַסֶּכְתּוֹת קְטַנּוֹת מַסֶּכֶת דֶּרֶךְ אֶרֶץ ז לָז)
