Confrontation has gotten its bad rep because people don’t execute it very well. But ambiguity is out. It is so last season. Spain is the new France, gold the new pink. And while it may be a bit uncomfortable at first, the only way to fully solve a problem and move past it is to face it directly and not passively.
