Strong alliances can thrive even where disagreements exist, but they cannot thrive where free and open communication is shut down.

When neighbours interact with each other, it is only natural that sometimes they will run into problems of some kind or another. As long as they respect each other, properly manage differences, and pursue mutual benefits, there will be harmonious sound instead of jarring noises.
