Always Room for Conflict

In the middle of the great Civil War, Bob Lincoln, the son of Abraham Lincoln came to his mother and dad and said he wanted to join the Union forces and to fight for his country. But his mother refused to allow him to do so and his father supported her because they had already lost two sons and she could not bear the thought of losing a third. When they refused to let him join the Union forces he protested, saying that Burnsides would soon be in Fredericksburg and by Christmas he would have conquered Richmond and the war would be over. But Lincoln said to his son, “No, oh no, my boy, there will be war enough to go around.”

It has been my experience that there is always enough war, there is always enough conflict, there is always enough strife to go around for everybody to get in on it.
