I think it is the essence of life that drives conflict. The Ying Yang's eternal swings create light and darkness, oppression and freedom, love and fear. Idealists will always try and come up with the final solution to everything to reach eternal love, but without knowing create new conflicts along the path. Those who seek to control and dominate will lift the new freedom movements without wanting to. The middle path offers liberation from the wheel of Karma but it is not easy for our egos to surrender. Much as we may complain, we are addicted to this rollercoaster of high and lows, and will continue to live it until we are finally ready to let go. I do however agree on that we all crave love, and this is the one true medicine. Thank you for sharing your thoughts!

This is really interesting, and I think it can turn out this way in some cases.
I see the Yin Yang interplay in nature, prey/preditor, the cycle of life from death and decay in the seasons etc. And you are 100% right that it is not easy for our egos to surrender.
This is key for how I personally approach trying to get off the rollercoaster once in a blue moon. It's nearly always the ego that keeps me trapped in cyclical thinking. But even the act of noticing when it's happening allows for those moments when you can escape the narrative the ego is constantly constructing.

Awesome m8. Couldn't agree more.

Essentially, all that humans need to thrive is enough healthy food, clean water, a healthy mindset and a clean/healthy place to live. Also, most important is love...
Love, whether it be from a fellow human being, love put out into the universe, or received through the cyclic nature of things. Love is a universal constant of our internal worlds.
This resonates in me. Love is the way out of conflicts between humans. If there is love, there are a number of values necessary to prosper and live happily.
wow you really answered this well and really hit it, in a way it is hard to pinpoint what it is exactly as so many things come into play, but yes greed which leads on to manipulation and so much more, I have still to write on this so I will not go into it more. But I totally relate to your answer and yes to love bring it on I say xxxx
it is hard to pinpoint what it is exactly as so many things come into play,
Yeah, I agree and I think that this Ecotrain QOW is going to be more of an encyclopedia of answers to this thorny issue. Like maybe between 7 or 8 people the answers could emerge.
but yes greed which leads on to manipulation.
Lol, if I tried to cover all the causes of humankinds intetnal and external conflicts I'd still be writing 😂
I think I definitely focused more on the external in my post.
In the words of someone from my home town who understood these things:
Love is all you need
Look forward to reading your answer TrucklifeFam 👍
I will come back and read this later because I don't really want to influence my own thinking about this question which hasn't quite formulated yet. Xx
wow raj! really special post here, THANK YOu for taking the time to write such a deep and meaningful post.. SO much to take in!
Politics, mmm. yes that patriarchal system that envelops everything, right down to our language and inability to even express ourselves using it..
Love that you end with meditation.. a few of us have mentioned this, and wow. so good to see so many people on Steem and beyond talking and even practicing it now..
this is a good sign! <3
thank you for taking part this week raj! hope to see you again soon on the QOTW!

Yeah, I agree. I think its the best thing for taking you out of yourself to see beyond the ego and all the negative mind-chatter. I could have wrote a lot more about meditation in this post to be honest, but I wanted to focus more on the external than the internal.
I usedto meditate a loit more than I do now about 8 years ago... and then I kind of stopped becuase of some things that happened in my life, and it was a bad descision because that was the time I most needed that perspective that meditation brings. I recently started going to the meditation group in the naturalmedicine community and it has been wonderful to find that peace again. Ha ha, however brief the moments of clarity, they merge in with your everyday thinking to level everything out I find.
I'll try and do more EcoTrain QOW. I'm one of these writers that has a million ideas and especially on steem, I just go with the inspiration. I've got a lot of deadline writing tasks outside of steem so here I just go with the flow lol :)

Yeah, love and understanding are key for sure. It sounds a little hippy dippy ;-)... but that doesn't make it any less true.
Thanks for your comment, and reading my post zeleiracordero :)
