If there is a disagreement, people need to sit down to settle whatever caused the disagreement so that there would be peace at the end of the day. Luke said, “I have been at the gate for two hours. I have not been able to do my business as a shuttle driver. I have been here since 8am and this is 10.22am but I am yet to gain entry.
