"I frequently counsel people who are getting frustrated about an edit war to think about someone who lives without clean drinking water, without any proper means of education, and how our work might someday help that person. It puts flamewars into some perspective, I think." – Jimbo Wales

Simple: I often will tell people who are in an edit war to think about all the people who do not have clean water to drink, or a way to get an education, and how our work may help them someday. I believe that it puts this warring into the right perspective.
