Conflicts, Struggles and The Pursuit of Happiness

"When the soul is stirred to its in-most depth
  Great ones unfold their best."

For every situation there are precisely two most well-suited coping mechanisms- Fight or Flight. While truce is a good option for preventing world wars and ensuring peace, it is not always the best option when it comes to personal, day-to-day struggles. There are times when even the most docile among us have to  resort to personal conflict. Sometimes the ends have to justify the means.There is peace in war and war in peace. We attain greater peace in the world and within ourselves by creating wars.

Struggles turn us, twist us but in the end we come out brighter than before. No goal worth achieving has ever been attained without going the extra mile, without fighting with the providence or without resorting to the fundamental human right to justice. In an environment where total buffoons run the world, it is only the rightful duty of a sane individual to take the chords in her hands. We would have never evolved to a civilized race had it not been for struggles.

 One section of the society struggles for power while the other section attempts to keep them chained. The question is what costs us more- war or peace? The answer is obvious. Keeping quiet in the face of oppression and wrong-doings is much higher a fee to pay than fighting hard or, standing up for what you believe in. Being tormented in silence for long is the fee we have to pay if we ignore the early signs just to avoid war and its consequences. True, when there's war there are consequences but it's crucial to remember what we are fighting for and if the cause is strong enough to keep you moving, stay on track and never deter from the path of self-righteousness.
