Each person’s beliefs are like finger prints; they’re unique. We all have different views. To eliminate conflict would eliminate what I find to be one of the most beautiful things about humanity: individuality. There will be conflict as long as our society and culture preserves a sense of diversity.

If one wants to make a change or be heard, she/he has to approach it with fists up. The ones that are recognized are the ones that have fought to the top. World peace is impossible, unfortunately. We have to start conflict to make changes in the world and our lives.

Among other things, humanity needs to learn how to pick their battles, and learn when to fight and when to keep quiet. We must learn and acknowledge that we are all individual, and we have a wide range of views. People must at least tolerate each other’s differences if they want society to be more susceptible to change.

Acceptance is the key to a better and more conflict free nation. Conflict is what a lot of people thrive on. Although this is true, being open to a new idea, and admitting being wrong will help us all be better people.
