Disharmony

Conflict typically involves emotional turmoil, anxiety and stress. Is it worth the effort?

Many disagreements are exceptionally petty and essentially meaningless.

Consider: football fans will assault fans of an opposing team on sight.

For what reason?

If one team or the other wins, what difference does it make?

Is the world a better place?

Has a tyrannical despot been overthrown?

Did someone cure cancer?

Have the peoples of the Third World been fed?

When somebody seeks to argue with you, it is important to ask yourself what the contention is really about.

If the disagreement is pointless, is there any reason to get into conflict?

Pride, ego, insecurity, distemper - these are not adequate reason for conflict. They are just excuses.
