Debating Conflict
Hello again, my minions.
This past week has seen a whole lot of debate over conflict. I find this an extraordinary thing; to DEBATE over CONFLICT. Let's first look at the words.
DEBATE: to discuss or dispute about an issue, proposal, idea formally.
CONFLICT: a state of opposition; the clashing of opposing issues, proposals, and ideas.
Let's see what a thesaurus tells us, shall we?
DEBATE: discuss, contend, contrast, dispute, argue.
CONFLICT: clash, contend, contrast, fight, oppose.
Interesting.
CONTEND: to strive or fight. see: compete, contest, battle, dispute, fight, argue.
CONTRAST: a comparison showing vast differences. see: compare, differentiate, deviate, differ.
Again, interesting.
The point I am trying to make is a simple, and yet complicated one.
The Republican Party, mostly Conservative, stands for equality without barriers between Americans. They do not use race, sex, nationality, or any other divisive term within their agenda. They view every American as an American.
On the other hand, the Democratic Party, mostly Liberal, stands for separation, diversity, political correctness, and often uses racial, sexual, nationality, and any other divisive term to further their agenda. They view every American as a/an (place your choice of adjective here)-American. Hyphonationality.
I have done a lot of thinking about this issue. We are all Americans. We have our differences in culture, race, sex, education, politics, religions, languages, ideas, attractions, hobbies, jobs, ethics, morals, etc. Every one of us are different in some way from any other American. Period. We will always be different.
That said, I want to point out that with differences come conflict, at some level. We as Americans will always be in conflict with each other about every one of the previously listed differences. It is inevitable. It is the natural course of life. Conflict. And there will always be conflict as long as there are differences. To end a conflict at any level, you must have a resolution.
RESOLUTION: the act of solving doubt, a question, or a problem. see: recommendation, determination, conclusion, decree, decision, declaration.
Basically, an end to hostilities. The winner gets his/her way. The survival of the fittest, in other words.
When a society has differences, it inevitably has conflict. When a conflict occurs, there are bound to be injuries. Until a resolution is obtained, there will be conflict, and injuries. To gain a resolution, you must have a winner, and a loser. To compromise does not resolve the conflict. Compromises do not eliminate differences, which are of course, the root of all conflicts.
Get it?
The ONLY WAY to end all wars is to eliminate all opposition. You can only have peace if there is no conflict. To have no conflicts, you must eliminate all differences between the parties involved. To eliminate differences, one side or the other MUST give in, totally, to the other's rule of ideas, principles, laws, culture, language, sexual orientation, education, religion, ethics, and morals. That is the only possible way of obtaining WORLD PEACE! It is as simple as that.
>No Differences = No Conflicts = No Wars<
Get it now?
I doubt it. It's just the way of life.
Live well, fellow Americans.
