Wishfull Thinking
If Yaakov would have dealt with Lavan according to whats said in these lines, he wouldnt have done all the things he did do to protect himself from him -and quite probably- we wouldnt be here today as Jews. If David would have dealt with those who killed Avner according to those lines -he wouldnt have given them the death penalty as he actually did. If Moshe would have dealt with those who made the Golden Calf the way those lines say, three thousand of Israel wouldnt have been killed by the Leviim. And the same could be said about the men that were killed because of Korach, and about the man that was seen gathering wood on the Sabath -and many more. Wanting to see in Reality all but pink is wishfull thinking: living in the real world -in a Torah way- requires more than that. An awareness of Evil as such, and the devising of ways to deal with it.

Harmonization
Infinite patience and trust in G-D and the reason this I say this is that when we have infinite patience it is because it produces peace and then we could have harmony.
It works with us...if we just have infinite patience. It is not what we need ...it is how to get it. It is better to teach than to learn.

Meet haiku master Tzvi Freeman. . .
OK, this isn't haiku but it is close enough. Very meditative. Thank you for the thought.
