Human Nature and CONFLICT
W
hether human beings are good or bad in the
primary natural state is a question that has been
roaming in the minds of even the greatest
scholars. History has always been evidence from religion to
science that human nature is greedy, egoistic, aggressive and
materialistic, so in whole nature is surrounded by conflict.
Conflicts are inevitable in human life and existence, No
doubt conflicts are also necessary for change in human society
as well.
To go forward, we must go back, Imagine a time before life.
Imagine there were rocks , wind, and rain only. Does it make
any sense to talk about “good” and “evil”? Obviously not.
Tracing the human history, In the religious point of view,
specifically in Islamic perspective. Hazrat Adam's son which is
considered first person who landed on earth named Cain killed
Abel, No doubt it was a murder, caused by anger, jealousy,
pride and greed. Likewise anger, competition, revenge falls in
the category of humans nature, and these essences ultimately
lead to the conflict.
Human nature means the essence of being human. It is the
special and unique characteristics which humans possess and
distinguish them from other living beings.
Conflict is a innate product in human mind. Conflict is a sign.
Conflict is a disease as well, and it often happens when society
is sick. And the cause of this sickness is human greed, ego,
aggression, and violent nature. We look at wars and fights,
but we don’t look at what and who caused it. Looking at the
human history, the main reasons behind wars were greed and
desire, which incite them to go for war and battle. These greed
were not only for resources like (land, power, minerals, water,
wealth, etc.) but to expand power. Some people says that rising
disparity in male and female is the ultimate and absolute cause
of conflict. Like gender difference. When people have
differences means they have conflict. Doubtlessly conflict be a
danger on larger scale

8- Distribution of Resources
From low level to high, Asia is having 70 percent of
population is given 30 of resources and, Other countries
having 30 percent of population and given 70 % of wealth is
not a joke but wrongly distributed, on country level, Pakistan
is full of resources but the wrong division has created
mistrust in people, like in Balochistan who shares gas to
entire country and consequently they are not given gas for
use.
