A conflict is a fight, disagreement, or opposition between two or more people. Avoiding conflict is difficult, if not impossible, because people with differing ideas, beliefs, and desires interact with one another every day. We cannot eliminate conflict from our lives, but we can deal with conflict so it is not destructive to us. In the routine of daily living, most minor conflicts are harmlessly resolved.
People generally are agreeable with one another and overlook minor differences.
Unfortunately, some disagreements become major contentions and are not easily overlooked. A conflict is productive when the people involved feel satisfied with the outcome or have made a gain as a result of the conflict. A gain does not necessarily have to be material. Growing spiritually and maintaining honor may be more important than material gain as an outcome to a conflict. Such can lead to the feeling of being a winner even when you have not gained materially.
