the art of choosing the future over being right about the past.
means The act of restoring a broken relationship to harmony, or of bringing two conflicting things — accounts, beliefs, people — back into agreement.
from From the Latin reconciliare, 'to bring together again,' built from re- ('again') and conciliare ('to unite, to win over'). That conciliare comes from concilium, a 'council' or 'gathering' — the same root that gives us 'council' and 'conciliate.' At its heart sits the image of people summoned back into one room: the literal calling-together of those who had drifted apart.
