In life there are times when we suffer a conflict between doing what we “ought to do” and what we “want to do”. In the book Things Fall Apart by Chinua Achebe there is a lot of examples of this.

Our emotions inevitably affect important conversations, they seep into our language, or worse, they explode into it. Managing the emotional dimension of conflict has little to do with discussing our feelings and everything to do with acknowledging what is important.
