All men have an instinct for conflict at least, all healthy men. -Hilaire Belloc
Who doesn't like a good argument? However, in the time that has passed since Belloc made this statement I think residents of the West Society have gotten increasingly thin-skinned and increasingly incapable of making amends once the conflict is past. Our age of disconnect seems to permit wounds to fester, resentments to remain and conflicts to reignite with even greater potential. That is certainly not the ideal we have from Christ. I often wonder how much my own difficulties in forgiving will hamper or even prevent my redemption.
