When told that strategic thinking is draining for naturally 'nice' people, Greene flips the framing: stepping back, reading the situation, and choosing option D instead of charging into option A is what makes conflict go away. The version of life that actually exhausts you is naively triggering fights that drag on for weeks. Strategic restraint is liberating because it ends drama rather than perpetuating it — and it turns you from a reactive child into an adult who stands up for themselves effectively.
