Yes. Conflict is probably the wrong word as in my experience and the experience of my fellows, challenge would be the better word. Challenge may be driven by conflict, but the drive to know, to communicate, to succeed is more evident than conflict in my daily life outside the ether. A degree of and periods of harmony is necessary in my life for regeneration. Nevertheless, only challenge produces the growth. My name is Bob.
