Introduction:
Conflict is part and parcel of evolution and revolution –which happens with evidenced human reactions like surprises, shocks and sparks, and sometimes with pain and confusion. Various fields of professional practice led by psychologists (or psychiatrists), naturalists, and Buddhists spent considerable amount of time and energy to eradicate human and ecological afflictions –through circular critical thinking to establish harmony linear cause-effect relationships.
Most importantly, they are excellent in terms of respect of diversity and management of extremes or mental imbalances, minimizing economic disparities through donations to the poor and volunteerism. In addressing peace and conflict issues, therefore, experts must be mindful of the different manifestations and establish links with the current conflict situation.
And while examining individual sources of conflict, the community-individual relationships must never be left out. This emphasizes the placement of mental health issues at the center of research, analyzes and policy of every nation –ensuring equal representation, equal measure of respect, and equal measure of rights, equal participation in determining future actions applied to both progressive and conservative forces while working optimistically –giving nature its time to see off prevailing conflicts towards a better, habitable and dignifying world for everyone to live in.
That will go along way to establishing the right equilibrium in the human functioning (peace or normalcy) and eco-system balance for its consolidation.
