Scenario

When families become strangers to avoid conflict

Our family dinners have become these tense affairs where we all avoid talking about politics or current events, but the avoidance itself has become the thing that makes everything feel fake and careful. We used to be able to disagree and still enjoy each other, but now we're all so afraid of conflict that we've lost the intimacy too.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

The pursuit of peace has created a different kind of distance, where safety comes at the cost of knowing each other.
