Simplified Meaning:

Imagine you and your friends can't agree on which game to play. Some want to play soccer, while others want to play basketball. Instead of arguing and getting upset, you all sit down and talk about it. By discussing, you understand why some prefer soccer and why others like basketball. Then, someone suggests playing soccer for half the time and basketball for the other half. Everyone agrees, and now you're all happy because you get to do what you enjoy and spend time together. This way of solving the problem by talking, finding a middle ground, and working together can be applied to more serious issues too. For example, in a family disagreement or a business meeting, this method helps to find solutions that everyone can accept, keeping peace and unity.
