Child: "Yes?"
Teacher: "What do you know of conflict?"
Child: "What do you mean?"
Teacher: "Have you ever experienced it? The pain of conflict? The feeling of fear you have when you are locked in desperate competition with another living, breathing human being, simply for the sake of out matching your opponent?"
The child it's shook little head.
Child: "I do not think so. No."
Teacher: "All humans experience conflict. You will face it with people you love. People you hate. People you've never meet or heard of. People will want to be better than you, just for the sake of saying so."
Child: "But why? That seems so silly."
The teacher nodded
Teacher: "Aye, it is. Never forget who you are. Never forget what your worth. Never forget that someone wants to be you."
The child pondered his teachers words for a moment,
Then responded with a smile.
Teacher: "Good. Now run off and get ready for bed."
The child skipped off with a happy tone in mind.
The child felt unbeatable.
The child felt as if it was of a different cloth compared to any other human.
The child felt pure.
"There's so much to learn."
