Conflict arises when there is a problem.
A problem is a conflict between at least two ideas: the idea of how something should be, and the idea of how something is. In other words, all problems depend on a misconception.
Problems are also dependent on context. By choosing your context, you choose your problems. You also choose their meaning.
Most people don’t solve problems. They just face the same problem in different manifestations. Or they trade one problem for another.
You will know you have solved your problem because you don’t have it anymore.
I study conflict because it indicates a problem.
I work on problems because they are the start of all solutions. Solutions are the result of creativity.
I write about this stuff because it seems to entertain me.
