Must There Be Conflict? (Eng/Esp)

(edited)

Conflict has to do with a disagreement, a clash or argument which drags on for a long time - a protected one. In the world we live in conflicts are bound to occur. This is because we share various values and beliefs which are different and distinct from one person to another. Whether at individual level, community level or at the national level because of our diverse views about life and attitudes towards same conflicts are therefore inevitable.

When conflict sets in boundaries are drawn and enemies are created. This is evident both in inter-personal relationships and even at nation to nation relationships. We see wars here and there in our today's world 🌍 between nations who were once best friends but due to a few disagreements conflict sets in. In the process innocent lives who may not even know anything about the conflict will be lost.

As conflict is bound to happen one therefore needs to devise a means to handle it once it has arisen. Thus said, the panacea to handling conflict is by making a compromise. The ability to let go even when one is not at fault is the surest way to avoid conflict. It is people's grandstanding over issues and the inability to shift grounds have fuelled conflict both at individual level and at the international level.

One may see it as being inferior to the other if grounds or compromises are made. But this is not necessarily so because what one gains without conflict far outways what will be lost if conflict ensue.

Having said this so far, being open minded, ability to accept faults and corrections and removal of pride are strategies used to avoid unnecessary conflicts. Nobody knows it all so one should be able to have the mindset to learn from anybody at any time.

Being a good listener rather than always dishing out others is also a good way to manage and resolve conflicts. When you listen more and talk less chances are that you avoid words that may lead to arguments aor confrontational in nature too.

¿Es inevitable el conflicto?

El conflicto tiene que ver con un desacuerdo, un enfrentamiento o una discusión que se prolonga durante mucho tiempo, un conflicto protegido. En el mundo en el que vivimos, los conflictos son inevitables. Esto se debe a que compartimos diversos valores y creencias que son diferentes y distintos de una persona a otra. Ya sea a nivel individual, comunitario o nacional, debido a nuestras diversas opiniones sobre la vida y nuestras actitudes hacia los mismos conflictos, estos son, por lo tanto, inevitables.

Cuando surge un conflicto, se trazan fronteras y se crean enemigos. Esto es evidente tanto en las relaciones interpersonales como en las relaciones entre naciones. En el mundo actual 🌍 vemos guerras aquí y allá entre naciones que antes eran grandes amigas, pero que debido a algunos desacuerdos han entrado en conflicto. En el proceso, se pierden vidas inocentes que tal vez ni siquiera saben nada del conflicto.

Dado que los conflictos son inevitables, es necesario idear un método para gestionarlos una vez que surgen. Dicho esto, la panacea para gestionar los conflictos es llegar a un compromiso. La capacidad de ceder, incluso cuando no se tiene la culpa, es la forma más segura de evitar los conflictos. La grandilocuencia de las personas sobre los problemas y la incapacidad de cambiar de postura han alimentado los conflictos tanto a nivel individual como internacional.

Se puede considerar que uno es inferior al otro si se cede terreno o se llega a un compromiso. Pero esto no tiene por qué ser así, ya que lo que se gana sin conflicto supera con creces lo que se pierde si se produce un conflicto.

Dicho esto, tener una mente abierta, ser capaz de aceptar los errores y las correcciones y eliminar el orgullo son estrategias que se utilizan para evitar conflictos innecesarios. Nadie lo sabe todo, por lo que se debe tener la mentalidad de aprender de cualquiera en cualquier momento.

Ser un buen oyente en lugar de estar siempre criticando a los demás también es una buena forma de gestionar y resolver conflictos. Cuando escuchas más y hablas menos, es más probable que evites palabras que puedan dar lugar a discusiones o enfrentamientos.
