Describe a situation where you felt conflicted. Which values were in tension, and how did you resolve it?
I have been struggling with this prompt for a couple of days. I feel conflicted more often than not. My desire to keep the peace often conflicts with my desire to be heard. I also tend to do things I don’t want to do and not do things I want to do to avoid conflict.
Conflict avoidance isn’t terribly useful. It’s more often than not an obstacle to living the life you want. Learning how to manage conflict with openness and compassion is better. There are times to compromise and to make peace, but not at the cost of compromising the values and virtues you aspire to have at the core of your life.
