This happened today in my town.
Two brothers fell out with each other over the partition of property.I know both of them.They.are my acquaintances, not friends.But I know what the matter is.and I know who of them is right and who is wrong.
But I am not at all involved in the dispute.It doesn't matter to me who of them gets what of the property. I was just an onlooker.
Naturally I did not intervene.When they came to blows, I left for my office.
But now I am questioning myself.Was what I did right?. Should I have intervened to help them settle the issue. But why should I poke my nose in their issue?? They did not invite me to intervene,nor do they expect me to do so.
The conclusion I have reached to is that what I did was right.
What do you think,friends?? Was I right ,or ,was I wrong??

@Cheyee Exactly.They are quarrelling over a piece of land and I know who of them deserves it,but the elder brother is adamant. I think they will now move the court.

@Shivram59 when it comes to properties people could become rough and abusive.

@hereandthere I don't know either.All I could do is pacify them.That's why Ieat. And I think my decision was right.

@prinzcy I did not intervene.It was a matter relating to their family. All I could do is try to pacify them.I did not call the police either, nor did I intervene.I just left for my office I didn't want to get myself involved in others' issue.

It must have have been upsetting for you seeing that and inheritances like that and all the disputes that go with it are best left alone and the people involved in it.
You did right its up to them to sort it out whichever way they see or saw fit to do so.
As I said to my brother you can keep the house and all that goes with it and I meant it for me it was all said and done in that one sentence.

I have heard of people here go on for years also I freed myself from a lot of misery tryiing to fight that brother of mine like I told him you can keep the house and all that goes with it and he knew I meant it.
Its much better to let it go at least in the way I do and it does not mean that it does not ever hurt you but the real hurt is avoided.
I still keep working on it a house or land does not last forever.

@lovinangelsinstead21 Disputes over property happen in all families.Sometimes there are more than two parties involved.That's exactly what has happened in my family.I have left one-fourth of my share for others and an equal share for my sisters.Now it seems we will soon arrive a solution.

@lovinangelsinstead The two brothers were at each other's through the for a piece of land that's said to be too costly.The is now in court.It is expected that the decision will come in a month or two.You can give everything to others,but most people don't have successfully a large hear.They fight cases for years waste a lot of money for years.

@jstory07 Thanks,my friend.I could have called the police,but their relatives were present there.I think it was their responsibility to ask the police to intervene.Now the matter is subjugate.

@Shiva49 Thanks,my friend.They are just my acquaintances,not friends.Had I tried to intervene, the consequences would have been undesirable for me.Their relatives were also present there.They could have called the police.Considering everything I decided to leave.I'm told one of the two parties has moved the court and now the matter is subjugate. ....Thanks again.
