Member You - The Nature of Conflict
With the birth of technology and the rise in popularity of the cellular phones as a mode of communicating with people, we have become addicted with using the short messaging system. Text messaging via cellphone is also another way of communicating these days.Because of these new avenues of communication, people make use of keypads all the time. And though this is an instant and fast way, not to mention cheap way, to stay in touch with people, it also has its disadvantages. One of them is putting strain in the hands, particularly in the fingers.When you type, you are exerting much effort with your fingertips. You are pressing letters in order to compose messages. And though it is not exactly dangerous, it can be exhausting for the fingers if done all the time. One of the problems that may occur due to the repetitive t
People have always fought for the control of territory and natural resources. These are “who gets what” fights.
Uncertainty
Whether we fight over the past or the future, we are dealing with uncertainty. Conflict increases the uncertainty of outcomes. Making peace is a way to diminish uncertainty. Negotiation involves an attempt to predict and influence the course of future events without conflict. Conflict management involves the development of systems to prevent conflict, and to deal with it when it happens.
A person may also be in conflict with himself; these conflicts also are always about past wounds, future desires or conflicting beliefs. The goal of conflict resolution is to heal past wounds, harmonize future desires and reconcile conflicting beliefs.
There are two possible broad categories of subjects for conflict – things of the mind, or physical resources. There is nothing else to fight about.
Summary
On the physical level, we fight in time and space for control of matter and energy. We also fight for ideas and beliefs. We fight to heal wounds and fulfill desires. Conflicts may pertain to both past and
"Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world gives, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid." - John 14:27.There has never been an instance when battles were not raging somewhere on our globe. According to Jesus, there shall be wars and rumors of wars before His return. Until then, though humanity's universal cry is for peace, there shall be no peace. The Apostle Paul was negative about the world achieving peace without Jesus Christ. He wrote, "For when they shall say, Peace and safety: then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a women with child; and they shall not escape" (1st Thessalonians 5:3).Scriptures speak of several categories of peace.1. The peace represented above refers to a cessation of hostilities between warring nations. It
Essence of Conflict
The essence of conflict is collision. The root of the word is fligere, strike + con, together. Although we tend to use the word dispute synonymously, its root is more benign: putare, consider or estimate + dis, two ways, differently. At a physical level, the nature of conflict is expressed in the rule that two objects cannot occupy the same space at the same time; if they violate the rule, they collide. One might say the forces released in the Big Bang are fleeing the consequences of colliding in micro-space; hence the expanding universe. This is conflict avoidance on a cosmic scale.
Living things are apt to collide in the competition for space and resources, but humans are more complicated. We have long memories, complex emotions, and nurture grudges, so we can fight about things that happened a long time ago; we can also fight about abstract ideas and beliefs.
The elements of conflict are past time, future time, wounds, desires, mind and matter. Wounds exist in the past; desires exist in the future. A conflict may be played out on the twin planes of mind and matter.
Time as an element of conflict
Conflicts always contain time. Continued conflict is a way to drag the past into the future. The idea of justice is in essence a belief that past events can be “put right.” We may also speak of the present moment, but the present moment is always in the process of becoming the future. Conflicts exist in the present, but they are always about something that is desired to happen or about something that already happened. That is why we try to know the future and the past.
The present moment is our point of perception; to the extent that the past exists at all, it can only exist in present perception, and to the extent that the future exists at all, it can only exist in present perception. But when one contemplates the nature of the present moment, it vanishes. It is always becoming the past and always rolling into the future. The only thing one can do with the present moment is experience it.
When people fight about the past, they are generally fighting about their wounds; when they fight about the future, they are generally fighting about their desires. Some conflicts pertain both to past and future; when wounds are mixed with desires, the entanglement is complex. Fights about the past are always about how to patch up the past so that wounded spirits may be satisfied, and fights over the future are always about who gets what, how much, and at what price. The most complex conflicts contain past time, future time, unhealed wounds, unfulfilled desires, conflicting doctrines and beliefs, and contest for territory and resources.
We approach the past by means of memory, physical and written records. Although we only have our stories about the past, they may be more or less accurate, depending on many factors, of which the most important is usually the passage of time. As memories fade, we have to rely on the written and physical record, and if there is no written record, we have only the physical record. Lawsuits involve an attempt to reconstruct the past; evidence is the law’s method of reconstructing a past story.
The future is like the past in some ways. We have stories about the past, and predictions about the future. We cannot remember the future, but we can predict it, and the accuracy of our predictions depends mainly upon time. Most people can predict what they are likely to be doing next week, but not what they will be doing ten years ahead. No one can predict a hundred years ahead. When rapid change occurs, prediction becomes more difficult.
Wounds and desires
A “wound” may be psychological or material. The legal system compensates for material losses (economic damages), and for pain and suffering (non-economic damages). Some wounds may have no material component: “..I have told thee often..I hate the Moor..let us be conjunctive in our revenge against him.”
“Desire” pertains to the future. Those who have no desires are either enlightened or apathetic. A desire may be for psychological or material satisfaction. It may be positive (to achieve gain) or negative (to cause loss).
Mind and matter
These are separated conventionally, though material things may have an emotional or psychological component, and vice-versa. The achievement of satisfaction often requires both to be addressed. A system that does not attempt to address both needs is incomplete, and means of doing so are then sought for “alternatively.”
Beliefs and resources
Humans fight about ideas and beliefs. The inquisition of Galileo was about the Earth’s relationship to the Sun. Bloody religious wars have been fought over quite abstruse points of doctrine. Today a battle is waged between Creationism and Darwinism. These are essentially conflicts in the realm of ideas. The desire for revenge is for mental satisfaction, though someone has written that it is like drinking poison and expecting the other fellow to die.

This is a trick question. You see, there are two layers of forex brokers. However, most people entering only see one of the layers.The layer most people see are the market makers (another name for them is "bucketshops"). These brokers advertise heavily. They offer free charting packages. These are the ones you think of when you think forex brokers.But there is another kind of forex broker. The are the ECN (electronic communication networks). These brokers don't advertise as heavily. They (usually) don't offer charting packages. They are sort of hidden.Why are these ECN brokers important to know about? Let me explain. Market maker brokers (like the ones that advertise heavily) actually trade against you.Yes, that's right. They "make the market." They take the opposite side of you order. They also know ex

Yoga meditation is described as an art and science of systematically observing, accepting, understanding, and training each of the levels of our being, such that we can coordinate and integrate those aspects of ourselves, and dwell in the direct experience of the center of consciousness.The Yoga that is practiced today is not actually a separate part of Yoga Meditation, simply because Yoga is meditation. However, to differentiate Yoga Meditation with the now popular belief that Yoga is all about physical postures, Yoga Meditation is a complete process unto itself and only a small though useful part it relates to the physical body.In the Himalayan form of Yoga Meditation, one systematically works with the senses, body, breath and the various levels of the mind, and then goes beyond to the center of c

The popularity of adjustable-rate mortgages means that nearly 25% of all outstanding U.S. mortgage debt is due for an interest-rate reset within the next two years, according to Economy.com, a Web site run by Moody's Corp. Some $400 billion in loans will get a new rate this year, and another $2 trillion are set to move in 2007. With rates on the rise, it is good idea to start weighing your options. Interest rates have gone up considerably during the past few months and now could be the time to lock in on a fixed-rate mortgage.What if my ARM rates are lower than the current rates for a fixed-rate mortgage? While it's more common for people to refinance their mortgages into lower rates, there are a lot of people switching from adjustable rate mortgages (ARMs) to higher fixed-rate loans. Why?

For better or worse, I watch the Antiques Roadshow religiously. While I love to see the appraisers enlighten someone’s day with an unexpected evaluation, I also like to watch people’s reactions when they find out the family heirloom wasn’t given to their great-great-great-grandmother from George and Martha Washington...and that it’s a forgery. Not that I like to see their disappointment, no, what I listen for is their reaction. Sometimes the owners put on a brave face, while others are dubious of the expert’s claims. My favorite though is the person who doesn’t really care, they still like the item and it will continue to have a place of prominence in their home.I admire those antique hunters who love their items regardless of its value. Having said that...do a little research and you probably won’t get burned.I th

On the physical level, we fight in time and space for control of matter and energy. We also fight for ideas and beliefs. We fight to heal wounds and fulfill desires. Conflicts may pertain to both past and future; the past contains wounds, the future contains desires. The most complex conflicts contain all variables at once: resources and ideas, past and future, wounds and desires, material and incorporeal. These involve a high degree of entanglement and congealed emotional energy. Dispute resolution is about untangling the contestants and releasing the energy.
