If you work with fencing disputes, you’ll get deep insights. The world would be a much better place I think if we stopped assuming people fundamentally like each other. They really don’t. Paradoxically, the world would be a much better and more peaceful place, if we accepted this. It’s only when we accept that we have to always negotiate our relationship with others, that they become good relationships. The poison starts when we assume we all like each other, and then start abusing our relationships by never negotiating them.
