The Source of Conflict

Sometimes it merely takes one rational moment to have that little bit of consideration for what is said or done towards someone else. When considering the outcome of your words or actions, it is so easily overlooked.

The conflict life cycle ends in war. The conflict between 2 individuals ends with thousands. Numbers constantly growing for the people that need to attend these mass-murder events. The life cycle starts when you are growing up with family, friends, relations with others, your role models and the people you look up to. Once conflict enters your life, it sticks. Working these emotions, does anything really ever help you?

Conflict derives from grudges, it derives from jealousy, it derives from racial, religious, gender and sexual preference choices. At the end of the day conflict derives from choices of the individual or in many cases choices that are made on the individual’s behalf. One wonders where conflict will end, if it will ever end and if it did so then how. How would any one person make that rational choice to stop conflict and decide to not seek revenge?

Why do you always fight back, is this to prove that you have opinions, are your too afraid of others future opinions, do you lack self confidence? Does war begin due to a few minorities proving their power and influence when what they say has no impact on their life and the millions that are impacted are treated as insignificant numbers.

Once beginning to realise that conflict caused is irrational to create, conflict solved is rational to amend. It takes minutes to create war and years to complete. From petty crime to war it seems there is no more rational thinking or consideration for those that are directly involved.

When will the leaders of the world who many look up to actually prove that they are leaders and turn the bad around. Once we learn from the top and the bottom then we could equalize in the middle, a happy medium?
