Slow Days·the think normal

A sideways glance at conflict..

Value comes from conflict. 

Having to give up one thing in order to choose another is opportunity cost, 
and opportunity cost is decided by each individual's hierarchy of values.

We, who live every day inside that conflict and repetition, 
in the end,
are living inside our own valuable worlds. 

In other words, the very fact that you fight and clash so much 
is a sign that you're living inside that many things worth being grateful for.
