IMHO, reconciliation if often the acceptance of the duality.
Its a peaceful art in a violent world.
The heart/mind can be peaceful while the body is active.
The art is peaceful, how one applies it can be peaceful, violent, or somewhere in between on the spectrum.

I once heard of a common nightmare where two wolves are fighting. When ask which one would win, an old man said which ever one you choose to feed.
