If you are fond of reading and watching news whether over radio, tv or the internet, you would notice that there are some nations which are having internal and external conflicts. Why is it happening?
Because of this conflict, may innocent people and even those who are only there as tourists are caught in crossfire. There are also reports on damages on properties. If this is going to persist for a very long time, might as well affect some other countries.
I believe that people become so stubborn and selfish thinking that resolving issues through revolutionary acts of rebellion can solve the problem. They have given up possible peace talks that can help ease the problem. This is really horrible because we have seen war from the traces in our history. A lot of men keep on talking about making peace not war.
Then why is it still happening?

To have peace you need everyone to cooperate. Even one person can disturb peace. If we lived in a nice neighborhood, even one troublemaker could disturb the peace of everyone else. That is why mankind can never have peace. To have peace we need God Almighty. So we have to wait for his time to bring peace to the earth.

It's a really bad thing that it's happening. But unfortunately, people are competetive of nature. And envious. All all that negative things. They want their religion to be the universal one, they want the other country's oil, they are making gangs... it's in human nature, unfortunately. What's happening word-wide is what is happeninbg locally. Most people would even sell their own mothers and friends to get what they want, they bring down other people to get their way. It's disgusting, but that's how people are.

Hi. In my opinion, this is because we all wanted to be greater than other people or other country. We fought for territories to widen our territories. We don't find any contentment with what we have. That's also true in real life situations. Brothers and sisters have conflicts, just like husband and wife, so nations also have that. Greediness has big part in the conflicts. We always wanted more and more and more. Should people learn to stay contented and happy with what they have, and learn to love each other, we could achieve peace, but that's impossible.

Hi ! Nations in conflict with each other because long back history was already like that and up to date still same , nations want territorial expansion ! They wanted to to show Superiority to the other . Religious and cultural differences also. In war , there are no winners , all are losers !! It is against humanity ! God did not divide land . God gave land but men divided it . Men divide people by caste , creed , religion , this division creates war. They wanted to show supremacy dreaming that they are the most influential and powerful nation. Man indeed is by nature greedy and hunger of power !

most cause of conflicts are territorial ownership, or religious differences... there are peace talks but no one in this world would give way. it is because we are living in a fallen world and most of us have greed to own everything we want no matter what the cost is.
