Moshe Rabbeinu had a great deal of trouble in parashas Korach. There was the machlokkes with Korach, then the people complained, then the tribes complained about the selection of Aharon.
How was this finally resolved?
Aharon staff sprouted flowers.
This teaches us that a dispute can only be stopped by pleasantness. A machlokes can only be stopped by n'eimus.
Or, machlokis will only end when Hashem sends along a neis that is simply so pretty, so innocent , and so unrelated to the point at hand that people are distracted and remember Him.
