Do people just naturally want conflict

[Ahriman]

Americans don't understand conflict. They don't understand that conflict always stops when it becomes understood. It always does. If Americans understood why the Ukraine War was happening, it would be over in a minute. But most have no idea. So it continues. Ignorance is like a wild flame that only calms itself when the observer of the flame is willing to understand why the flame acts chaotically. And it's not because the flame is evil.

People are more complicated than flames.

Americans aren't in charge of the war in Ukraine.

Yup, some people are just assholes.

No they aren't.  Back away from the keyboard for a while.  You're manic lately.

That’s just silly. Conflict stops when one of the parties gets beaten to dust.

Or you could just do it the easy way and come to a mutual understanding.

Your responses would embarrass a Planaria. Look it up. Oh, let me spell it for you. P-l-a-n-a-r-i-a, i-d-i-o-t.

It’s weird, I can handle other people’s conflict and give great advice but I’m actually conflict avoidant which when you’re married to an analytical type guy, it’s not very convenient. lol I’m working on not being this way, though. It’s residue from childhood trauma.
