Life and Conflict / by Alexander Lyadov

No one likes conflict (except psychopaths). But, in reality, life is a conflict.

Let's say your current state satisfies you 100%. No feelings of hunger, anxiety, or fatigue. Instead, you feel warm, cozy, and comfortable, as if you're asleep in your mother's womb.

Will you rush somewhere and fight for something? No. You already have everything you need. Blissful contentment will stretch on forever. You seem to exist, but you don't.

Suddenly, you start feeling pain, suffocation, or confinement. Discomfort grows. An impulse to take action arises inside you.

Now you have the conflict. The old state is unbearable, but familiar. The new state beckons, but terrifies with its novelty. You're stuck between two worlds.

Sooner or later, on your own or with someone's help, you'll find a way out. The conflict will disappear. You'll enthusiastically explore uncharted territory and weave a new nest until...

... until the cycle repeats itself once more. And again. And again.

Conclusion: life is overcoming conflicts sequentially, one by one.

Sincerely yours,

-Alexander
