Philip refers to a saying; "knowledge is proud he knows so much, and wisdom is humble that it knows no more" and notes that he has witnessed the shortcomings of "pride" during his many years of experience in dispute resolution. And "knowledge" often does not listen to the client and fails to understand the components of the dispute. It is crucial to take the inflammation out of the dispute and not allow anger or ego to cloud the issues.

The idea is to settle the dispute quickly and avoid legal expenses, allowing everyone to happily return to their lives and families.
