Life of Warfare

People always hope to find world peace sooner or later. I am a believer of this seemingly unachievable resolution too. But somehow, there is always conflict, quarrels, fights and confrontations happening out of the blue in life. Of course, we are either the offensive who seeks something they want, the defendant who never backs down without a fight, the mediator to keep the peace (and desperately trying to end the fight) or someone who happens to witness the whole thing unfolds.

These unpleasantness just happens. Just because everyone has a lot of ideas and opinions to disagree on, something everyone wants but there is not enough for everyone, or even something they felt they are unhappy over things.

So why we don't just all agree on everything?

We just can't. After all we are individuals with different personalities, backgrounds and their opinions shaped based on anything they have seen, heard and felt. As no one had the same experiences, so their point of view will never be the same. If everyone walks, acts and talks the same, then the world is definitely boring. Guess diversity comes with its disadvantages, huh? =)

So in the end of the day, after we pursue the art of arguing, we should start picking up what's next -- the art of compromising.
