When did disagreement become
ugly or coarse?
When it shows its colors,
we run for cover,
avoiding it
at all
costs.
We thrive on what is
united, at peace,
in harmony
but fail to realize
that it is tension
that drives all action
in the universe.
I am here,
you are there.
It is simple to be
parallel
forever.
But it is the intersections
that propel passion,
and create energy.
You and I will
always meet in
space:
collision, fusion
or the strange biological
compromise of
symbiosis.
Disagreements signal
not the breakdown
of relationships.
No, disagreements are
the highest form
of respect.
Only equals
disagree.
