Strife-> angry discord, disagreement a form of separation. Can anyone seriously imagine a world without strife?
Individuation and personal evolution requires strife... with others and often within the self. While I can understand and empathize with those
that dream of a utopian world where there is not conflict, I really don't think that they truly think it through?
Take sex for example, though we like to believe that every time it's a sweet cumming together of two......no... it can be two working out intimate strife. Take it down a notch in personal day to day relationships even with your besty... if you say you haven't felt like slapping them silly on occasion... your lying.
Friction of one form or another will always be with you. It is the Tao. The smooth and the rough LOVE IT!
