Betting on Conflict
Practices of conflict
(even with the most exquisite repair practices)
are depreciative toward the value of the experience.
Would you say that it’s important to lose lots of money now and then?
I doubt it.
Spending money on what you value is its only sacred use.
Losing it is pointless.
Relational conflict practices are akin to the gambler’s mindset.
“Gotta lose big to win big!”
That is probably not how you run your finances.
Why would you run your relationships like that?
Generate value with practices of appreciation.
Retain value with practices of playful maintenance.
Spend your finite time, energy, and attention on wise investments.
