Conflict is like a raging fire, it is often unexplainable, random and devestating. These mercyless qualaties often mean that damage is done to both the powerful and powerless. Although fire does not choose which houses it burns, the powerful may be able to delay the fire. Ultimately conflict will cause some kind of harm to the powerful and to the powerless, so in accepting this harm we can learn about the conflict and rebuild again.
Due to its personal nature, conflict often results in damages to the powerful and the powerless. Conflict has the ability to strike us deeply and then we are hurt we often fight back.
