Tension, in the long run, is a more dangerous force than any feud known to man.

Tension, in the long run, is a more dangerous force than any

Summary

This quote suggests that long-term tension is more harmful and destructive than any existing feud or conflict. Feuds typically involve open animosity between opposing parties, but tension implies a constant state of unease, anxiety, and unresolved issues. Tension has the potential to build up over time, leading to negative outcomes like damaged relationships, increased stress, and potential eruptions of conflict. Unlike feuds that may eventually find resolution, tension lingers and festers, causing more harm and damage in the long term. Therefore, this quote underscores the importance of addressing and resolving tensions before they escalate and become more dangerous.
