A conflict that is unrelated to any emotionally, intellectually or spiritually important issue will not create a crisis. Thus a child may reject a parent's authority, but probably not because of a conflict over where the toothpaste is squeezed. That action effectively changes the priority and dismisses the issue. There are several methods of analyzing apparent conflicts. The three most common are abstraction, criticism analysis and context seeking.
Many people approach potential conflicts in an analytical mood.
Pure analysis often reduces any importance to the conflict. Pure analysis is similar to simple analysis. Simple analysis defines all fact and all doctrine as not being in conflict. Whenever a conflict appears, simple analysis insists that either there is not a doctrine or there is not a fact and thus resolves the conflict. Critical analysis is the use of any fact that appears to be in conflict as a tool to criticize the existing belief.
