PrintConflict or Combat
14 November, 2013
As I was talking with a good friend this morning, he shared with me a quote that I would like to share with you.
"Conflict is inevitable, combat is optional"
Wherever there are differences in human relationships and perspective, conflict is inevitable. We can't avoid the inevitable. Yet conflict can be a good thing if embraced wisely and handled carefully.Combat, on the other hand, is optional. By combat I mean the application of opposition and resistance with a view to eliminate the other point of view as a way of getting rid of the conflict. Conflict handled wisely and well can be beneficial to all parties.
Who wants to get rid of that gift??But combat serves no positive purpose. Who wants to pursue that path?
