Discussion question for February 24, 2023.

It seems like people fall into one of two general categories regarding conflict, they either attempt to avoid it or they enter into it head-on.  How does avoiding conflict benefit a person?  What are some strategies you have seen or deployed to avoid it?  What generally happens to the parties involved when conflict is avoided?  How does engaging conflict head-on benefit a person?  What are some strategies you have seen or deployed to enter into it?  What generally happens to the parties involved when conflict is addressed?  What would you like to be able to accomplish whenever conflict arises?  What stands in your way of resolving conflict amicably?
