Just as an expert locksmith can open any lock and a polished craftsperson can sculpt any jade, those with true wisdom can resolve any difficult situation. We can use a gentle heart, compassion, and even a nod of the head or kind words to resolve deadlocks. As long as we are sincere, we can melt the ice and snow of a stalemate. In addition, if we are willing to accept disadvantages, we can surely be experts in breaking deadlocks!
