Conflicts occur when two entities disagree to agree repeatedly. Weather it is the social semblance of a loss of face or a deep rooted desire, unaware of its own consciousness striving to win a game it does not like.

We can be knowledgeable with other men's knowledge, but we cannot be wise with other men's wisdom.
