The complexities of math problems and conflicts are dynamic. Math has taught me how to apply it to resolve conflicts and complex problems in life by applying math principles honed and developed. Math works for my life's conflicts.
Avoiding a math problem, does not resolve that problem on its own.
Walking away, running away, turning away from a math conflict does not resolve it on its own if there is a goal in mind to resolve a conflict.
When there's no goal of resolving a conflict, then there's no resolution.
Abandoning the problem, does not make that problem vanish when there's a goal in mind to resolve that problem. That conflict will eventually catch up.

When we don't fight for what is ought to be fought for, we could lose what's most important in our lives.
Conflict could be small, it could be big.
Conflict is a good thing in relationships. Conflict is important in communication.

It's better to have a friend who does not always necessarily agree, but is willing to let you know what you need to hear. Not what you want to hear. An honest and a loyal friend who keeps it real is a keeper. Integrity.
