Do people just naturally want conflict

[Ahriman]

I don't know of a solution, tbh.

But everyone wants/benefits from a sense of meaning.

How everyone can have that without conflict seems a difficult nut to crack.  Religion attempted to offer that, but wasn't very good at it.

Yeah......but it would be preferable if people could have something better than a sense of meaning, that offered them more than a sense of meaning would.
