Are conflicts between people an inherent trait of being human? And if so, what kind of desires give rise to them?
Various desires amplify themselves in the pursuit of fulfillment, and people find it difficult to resist satisfying them.
If something can be achieved through individual effort, it does not necessarily trouble others. However, when it cannot be done alone, people gather allies, form groups, and end up exerting pressure on others.
Troubles arise not only between individuals but also between groups. Regardless of age or scale, why do such complications persist? And yet, however troublesome they may be, we cannot simply abandon them.
Around the world, wars and conflicts continue without end. We cannot afford to treat them as distant events. All phenomena are interconnected, and eventually their effects reach us as well.
It is difficult to specify in what form, but one way or another, complications will arise.
With complications come worries.
And yet, even the word “worry” itself is not easy to define.
Recently, I find myself wondering why human beings are such troublesome creatures. Even a good person represents only one aspect; from another perspective, they may appear less so—perhaps not evil, but simply human.
All of these complications are, in the end, things that humans create for themselves.
If it were possible not to create such “troubles” at all, that would have to be the work of a god.
But even gods, it seems, have their own divisions of responsibility.
And so, even they are not quite as omnipotent as one might expect.
Perhaps trouble is simply the price we pay for being human.
