Friction, in terms of physics, it means a force that resists the relative motion or tendency to such motion of two bodies or substances in contact. Or in layman terms, its the rubbing of one object or surface against another. It is also widely used in a context of a simple conflict.

Friction causes wear and tear. Without friction, we might never need to change another tire, we might never need to do re-flooring of tiles nor do we need to buy another pair of shoes (ok, maybe not for my case). But without friction, it would also mean that things are not grounded. Without friction, nothing would be in place nor order. Nothing would settle down and nothing could feel real.

Sometimes a little friction slows us down the right way and makes us enjoy the scenery of our paths better. A little friction reminds us that we will wear and tear, and that we should be mindful and enjoy every step of the way. A slight rub gives off some heat to keep check that we are indeed flesh and blood.

Friction might not necessarily be a bad thing afterall.
