“Man performs and engenders so much more than he can or should have to bear.  That’s how he finds that he can bear anything.” – William Faulkner

I hear about big and small teams splitting in BJJ and it always sounds like there is major disagreements and close relationships going cold in a blink of an eye.

I wonder why?

In either case, no matter how much animosity there is due to egos clashing, I feel it’s always worthwhile to suffer the weight of that tension and try to make things better, as opposed to giving up and “burning bridges”.

I hope I’ll have the strength to swallow pride as I go through life, through little bickering and major conflict, coming out on the other end with the same friends I started the journey with.
