A feud should live a full and colorful life, and then it should die a natural death and be forgotten.
Interpretation
Conflicts should be allowed to reach a resolution and ultimately be left behind.
Paul Newman suggests that feuds, like any part of life, should have their own journey β they can be intense and filled with emotion, but ultimately they should come to an end and be forgotten. This perspective promotes the idea of resolution and moving on from past conflicts rather than allowing them to linger indefinitely in our lives.

Jemu watched his father disappear. He didn't throw the coconut and he didn't cry. Never again would he know love for another human being that wasn't adulterated by another, contradictory emotion.
Ever since that happened to me, I haven't been able to give myself to anyone in this world.
We cannot even let the other person into our hearts or minds unless we empty ourselves. We can truly listen to him or truly hear her only out of emptiness.

Now, revealing that you're a keeper is no guarantee that this guy won't just walk away. Some men really are just sport fishing and have no intention of doing anything more than throwing back the women they bed. If this is the cae with this man, then let him walk-what do you care? He's not the guy you're looking for.
