In a broad sense, conflict is an exception to the universal norm of absolute peace. Chaos, uncertainty, and entropy will inevitably resolve into stillness and concordance.
The very fact of life constitutes a great struggle against the universal norms of silence, stillness, and harmony. One's life is a state of dissonance seeking resolution. Those who live most chaotically will die most painfully and suddenly while those who are closer to a state of peace will die softly and gradually, fading comfortably into the clutch of eternity. Their chaos is less, so they resolve more simply.
As such, in all conflicts, one can determine how much pain they endure by their response to entropy and chaos. Wherever one doubts their next move, the correct response is to find a stance of absolute silence, balance, and stillness. Ultimate peace will not need to be won through combat, but accepted as the conflict at hand inevitably resolves. One should only fight when it will speed along the natural progression towards resolution and prevent further conflict.
Those individuals who profit from the suffering of others will
attempt to prolong conflict for short term gain, but such gains will crumble like elaborate palaces built on shifting sands. The better strategy for a long, happy life is to build a humble dwelling on solid ground. By fostering contentment with reasonable aspirations, death will appear to be a comfortable release rather than a dreaded fall.
The proper attitude to any conflict is one of detached duty. Conflict, like a wildfire, will always burn out. Getting consumed in its resolution is a foolish waste of one's potential.
