Conflict

Conflict is very common in our society now a day. Conflict is the act of fighting, contest, and strife, and quarrel, emotional disturbance, to clash or to struggle. Conflict can arise anytime between two people, conflict can start with just a little misunderstanding. A simple conflict can start a war between two nations; it can also destroy relationships like in the story “The Carpenter’s Gift”

“The Carpenter’s Gift” is a great story to reflect with. This story has a great twist at the end. “Peace” or to be a “Peacemaker” for me is the lesson of this story. Peace is very important element or ingredient in every human life. If there is no peace there is no life. And to be a peacemaker is a very difficult task. I must admit that sometimes I’m a peacemaker but sometimes I’m a troublemaker. I remember when I was in high school when two of my best friends had a quarrel because of a girl for 2 weeks they didn’t talk to each other and many rumors are going around the school. So as a friend I organized an open forum to clear things out, luckily things run smooth and at the end of the day they are friends again. And as I mentioned earlier sometimes I’m the troublemaker I remember when me and my friends are playing basketball I started the trash talking against our opponent and my friends joined me. I remember that game was so intense and we also involve money to make the game more intense. Luckily we won so my trash talk continues. I did not notice that one of my opponents got irritated because of that the basketball match was turned to a boxing match but with my big body I won the match with my opponent lying down in the floor.

It is very hard when you have an enemy. Conflict is a very simple thing to deal with. We can resolve any conflict by communication. One must clear things out and discuss the resolve the misunderstanding. I always resolve any conflict trough communication. We cannot avoid conflict but the thing is how we deal with conflict.
