But I think that IS the question, and I think it takes some legit­i­mate work, some strenuous imagination, to push yourself to believe it really will be “just about any X” into “just about any Y”. > I don’t pose that question with any sense of wide-eyed expectation; a reason­able answer might be, *eh, nothing much*.

I just got better at keeping my blood pressure low and gritting through it. I think I was looking at conflict as a thing that you have to acknowledge exists, but that you need to get through as quickly as possible, because it’s a bad place to be. > Over time I shifted on the matter a little, but when I look back on it I realize I wasn’t really evolving my attitude toward conflict, I was just evolving my response to its existence, while still believing that being in a state of conflict is a problem.
