There are real issues being litigated through the conflict. So a bad idea to premature shut down the conflict simply because many need time to heal, or because many combatants are now part of a culture-war industrial complex with vested career interests in keeping it going.

Retreat to lick your wounds if you want, but don't pretend the conflict is over just because you, personally, are tired of the fighting, and don't personally have enough at stake. Retreat is a luxury available to some, not a sign of superior moral wisdom or higher virtues.
