Deep dives

The Source of Conflict

Conflict in relationships often stems from inner desires and unchecked passions that wage war within individuals. Personal experiences often highlight how easily one can succumb to anger or resentment over minor issues instead of communicating effectively or resolving disagreements. The desire to obtain personal pleasure can blind individuals to the needs and feelings of those around them, leading to quarrels. Therefore, understanding that internal struggles are the root of external conflicts allows for deeper reflection and the possibility of more harmonious interactions.
