Contrary to popular belief, conflict is actually a good thing. No matter who the misunderstanding is between, it always brings some good with it. People may not see it when the arguments are heated and they are on separate sides. However, in the long run, you will see that from these arguments, a lot was learned and a lot of issues were resolved.

Why Conflict is a Good Thing

Despite what we have said above, many people will still not be convinced that conflict is a good thing. They will fail to see where the good in all the arguments is. This is because when problems and misunderstandings arise, people say things out of anger. Therefore, where is the good in that? Well, allow us to walk you through the good that comes with all this.

Common Ground

When you argue, you will be on separate sides. However as soon as this argument is over, you find common ground. Meaning that there is a better understanding between the parties that were once at two different ends.

You Grow

Most of the time when people argue or disagree, there is something that is desired of them. Meaning that after the arguments are over, one will grow to be a better person than they were before.

Opens a Platform to Learn

When people have arguments or misunderstandings, it is because they disagree on certain aspects. However, as you go through that misunderstanding you get to learn about people. You know what they like and what they do not like. Therefore, meaning that conflict opened up ground for people to get to know each other better. Meaning that in the future, they know what to do and what not to do.
Hence you see that there is some good that comes with conflict. Meaning to say people should not avoid the conflict, however, they should find means of walking through it and resolving it.
