To make a very simplified analogy or example...: You learn more from your mistakes than your conquests.
And then just look at natural selection. It's through struggle and difficulty and fighting to survive that you find the more successful species are the one's surviving the most and prospering (of course).

To say the entire Universe is a very large statement, and in my opinion, far from the truth.
Your example given is also very interesting. So, you don't consider a conquest to be a conflict. It seems as if you have given two examples of conflicts in the one example. Please elaborate if this is incorrect,.
