Do people just naturally want conflict

[FrustratedFool]

Well then people are addicted to having meaning in their lives, which isn't good at all. People don't need meaning, they need to be honest with themselves about what's good for the human race as a whole and not just what they selfishly desire as individuals.

I don't think addiction is the right term. A sense of meaning is essential for a 'good life'. Without it, people are far more susceptible to mental illness and disease, and they will be less equipped to deal with suffering and hardship.
