Preach it, Samwise Gamgee
It's not likely I'll get very much response (since its been a year since posting) however I have a question still.
Which is worse - the battle itself or sitting on the edge of one, knowing it's inevitable and you can't do anything about it?

Sitting on the edge definitely!!!! Although as an avoider of conflict - it means I sit on the edge and play out the potential conflict in my head a number of times (which sometimes, but not always, is worse than how it actually turns out). Although I'm a lot more bold in what I say in my head than what comes out in reality :).

Good question! For me, it's the battle itself. Getting through it. Seeing the light at the end of the tunnel. No point in worrying about it before it happens, might as well enjoy as much of life as you can before the battle hits.
I thought about this and could easily decide both! But I don't like the unknown. At least in the battle you kinda know some things or perhaps know more? Maybe? Sitting on the edge makes me think there is a lot more unknowns and more to find out once one jumps offs the edge!? Althoug battles don't really sound all that fun either! But fighting for something important is worth doing! Complicated question!
I think it comes down to problem solving; creating the best possible solution to the curent issue. Its way easier to deal with the known than to worry about the unknown.
I've discovered that you can't live based on how you thought things were going to go. It will make you miserable and resentful.
I'm becoming way better at dealing with the here and the now instead of worrying about the "what might be's".
Since I asked the question, i will answer it. Id prefer the battle.
The lack of control in sitting on the edge has to be worse.
