"Those who expect moments of change to be comfortable and free of conflict have not learned their history."
~ Joan Wallach Scott ~
I have always wanted all the people around me to be happy with each other and happy with me. Conflict, confrontation, and silent tension alarm me at a visceral level, and I prefer to avoid them at all costs and in any way possible. And yet, much as I might want peace in the kingdom, it's inevitable that fights will break out and disharmony will occur.
But it may not be the death knell I think it to be. Perhaps, there is resolution at the far side of conflict, and evolution somehow in the whole messy mix.
I allow for the possibility of positive transformation through discomfort.
