Conflict is a curious thing. We walk a fine line in our relationships between avoiding conflict and being in conflict too much. Some of us will avoid at all costs. Others of us seem to look for a fight wherever we can find it. But a wise person finds their way in the middle. Careful to select which battles they take on in their life, they assess the cost risk and the benefit potential before entering into a fight. Conflict can be harmful to relationships if not dealt with adequately and appropriately. It is important to address points of contention early, otherwise they'll fester into a wound that will be open and vulnerable. These can infect and destroy the relaitonship. Remember, pick your fights wisely. Don't destroy relationships over trivial things. Let peace reign in your life and your relationships.
