Some people have learned the fine art of conflict de-escalation while others have homed their skills in the area of conflict escalation.

Some people hardly know the meaning of the term conflict from an experiential vantage point strictly. I on the other hand, have been through thousands of conflicts with humanity. And that is no joke. Thousands (5 maybe 10) -seems almost unfathomable, when you think about a number like that coupled with the term conflict. The sad thing about it is -that I don’t even come close to holding the record. I wish that were untrue.* 😔

And my grandmother -all the unhappiness, grief I caused her.

*If you knew what my childhood was like between 1970 and 1980 alone.
