What is conflict ?

Conflict is a natural disagreement resulting from individuals or groups that differ in attitudes, beliefs, values or needs. It can also originate from past rivalries and personality differences. Other causes of conflict include trying to negotiate before the timing is right or before needed information is available

The ingredients of conflict

Needs - Needs are things that are essential to our well-being. Conflict arise when we ignore others needs, our own needs, or other groups needs
Be careful not to confuse needs with desire " things we would like, but aren't essential"

Perceptions – People interpret reality differently. They perceive differences in the severity, causes and consequences of problems. Misperception or differing perception may come from: self-perceptions, others' perception, differing perception of situations and perception of threats.

Power – How people define and use power is an important influence how conflict is managed. Conflicts can arise when people try to make others change their actions or gain unfair advantage

Values – values are beliefs or principls we consider to be very important. Serious conflicts arise when people hold incompatible values or when values aren’t clear. Conflicts arise when one party refuse to accept the fact that the other party holds something as a value rather than a preference

Feeling and emotion – many people let their feelings and emotions become a major influence over how they deal with conflict. Conflicts can also occur because people ignore their own or others feelings and emotions. Other conflicts occur when feelings and emotions differ over particular issue.

Absence from whom we love is worse than death, and frustrates hope severer than despair. ~William Cowper

How like a winter hath my absence been
From thee, the pleasure of the fleeting year!
What freezings have I felt, what dark days seen!
What old December's bareness everywhere!
~William Shakespeare, "Sonnet XCVII"

Love is missing someone whenever you're apart, but somehow feeling warm inside because you're close in heart. ~Kay Knudsen

Your absence has gone through me
Like thread through a needle
Everything I do is stitched with its color.

Sometimes, when one person is missing, the whole world seems depopulated. ~Lamartine


All days are nights to see till I see thee,
And nights bright days when dreams do show thee to me.

Gone - flitted away,
Taken the stars from the night and the sun
From the day!
Gone, and a cloud in my heart.

That must be counted ere I see thy face?
How shall I charm the interval that lowers
Between this time and that sweet time of grace?

The joy of meeting pays the pangs of absence; else who could bear it?
~Nicholas Rowe


Why can't we get all the people together in the world that we really like and then just stay together? I guess that wouldn't work. Someone would leave. Someone always leaves. Then we would have to say good-bye. I hate good-byes. I know what I need. I need more hellos.
~Charles M. Schulz


Missing someone gets easier every day because even though it's one day further from the last time you saw each other, it's one day closer to the next time you will.

Ye flowers that drop, forsaken by the spring,
Ye birds that, left by summer, cease to sing,
Ye trees that fade, when Autumn heats remove,
Say, is not absence death to those who love?

Don't be dismayed by good-byes. A farewell is necessary before you can meet again. And meeting again after moments or a lifetime is certain for those who are friends.
