Friction

(A discussion I had with someone long time ago)

The most interesting lesson in class 9 physics was that if there was no friction, we wouldn't be able to walk ahead. If there were no conflicts, no disputes, nobody to disagree, none of that uncontrolled 'noise', we wouldn't be getting anywhere. As much as we love and desire peace, the truth is that all we want is a peaceful disagreement.
And it's an amusing truth too, because it brings you at a peaceful agreement with the fact that those everyday fights, those irritating aspects we bring ourselves to live with, those little arguments and the occasional yells that creep in all our relationships, they're okay, because it's the friction that prevents us from stagnating, and collapsing. It's the little friction that produces the little cute hug, the "sorry mom", the kissi on the cheeks, the "love you" whisper. It's the friction, in just the optimum amount, that keeps love growing.
