– Sometime back I said, “If 2 persons cause each other so much pain, is it not better that they be separated?”
I think the crucial difference is whether the relationship is good/positive overall (in spite of the incidents of conflict/violence) for both.
That should decide whether they try to work things out between them or part ways……

– Everyday routine, spiritual disciplines, household chores, social roles, folks who keep the world running, etc. are like the autonomous functions (heartbeat, breathing, etc.) of the body. You need them as a base upon which to do the “higher work” of self-transformation, world-salvation, human revival, etc. Without them, you cannot even attempt anything great. It’s like trying to write a poem or a novel without proper vocabulary & grammar……!
If you ask me, I would say that the building (prosperity) is the only thing that matters, but one needs a foundation (survival) in order to do it, so the latter becomes essential as well.
Distinguish:

Remember, 2 things could be BOTH complementary AND conflicting!
It is always better to die for a higher purpose than to live without virtue……
