Part I

<aside> <img src="/icons/thought-dialogue_gray.svg" alt="/icons/thought-dialogue_gray.svg" width="40px" /> I really don’t like hurting other people, and I especially hate killing. This isn’t exactly a question, just a statement.

</aside>

✔  There are times when conflict cannot be avoided. Move your focus to healing and defending your allies.

✘ Sometimes in life, we have to do things we don’t like.

✘ You do know what kind of school this is?

<aside> <img src="/icons/thought-dialogue_gray.svg" alt="/icons/thought-dialogue_gray.svg" width="40px" /> Someone who I loved deeply has disappeared on me. They won’t answer my letters, nor will they see me. I don’t know how to fix this.

</aside>

✔ There are wounds you can’t close by force. If this person has chosen silence, chasing them may only deepen the pain for both of you.

✘ Relationships can be fleeting, that is the nature of life.

✘ Sometimes you have to accept that another person’s heart is beyond your control.

Part II

<aside> <img src="/icons/thought-dialogue_gray.svg" alt="/icons/thought-dialogue_gray.svg" width="40px" /> Do you think that love can bloom on the battlefield?

</aside>

✔ People don’t stop being human just because they are at war. In dangerous places, bonds form quickly- trust, respect, and yes, even love.

✘ If love grows in such a place, it can be taken away just as quickly as it appeared.

✘ The battlefield is not the place for love.

<aside> <img src="/icons/thought-dialogue_gray.svg" alt="/icons/thought-dialogue_gray.svg" width="40px" /> I’ve been banished from cooking in the kitchen. Again. How can I prepare a meal without blowing something up?

</aside>

✔ Cooking is like training. You improve by repetition, not force.

✘ Follow the instructions exactly. Measure everything. Do not improvise until you understand each step.

✘ Ask someone experienced to watch you. Not to judge you- but to stop problems before they start.
