How To Live

Conflict
is my only source of progress
I need it just as much as I need water
be sad because you got rejected, it will aid you later
be joyful you passed your math test after the brutal conflict you endured
let our emotions burn us out similar to charcoal
don't torture your loved ones with your flamethrower.

Conflict is similar to falling into the biggest waterfall, and coming out alive floating in the smooth stream
we have sex with a risk, of falling apart or making us stronger
conflict is in our lives to stay 
for major or minor 
no matter
how much our souls can engage
