The Ultimate Paradox of Conflict

[Santiago Ram]

I had this Insight:

Conflict cannot be truly understood by the intellect, for it is the mother of intellect itself.

Perhaps, the only path to transcend conflict lies in feeling it fully, beyond the realm of thought.

 

[Santiago Ram]

What I mean is this:

Conflict is not merely a problem to be solved; it is the very crucible in which thought, philosophy, and theology are forged. Whenever we encounter tension—between desire and reality, belief and doubt, self and other—our minds spring to life, framing concepts, devising arguments, and constructing systems to explain and master the discord. In this sense, conflict is the mother of intellect itself. Yet the paradox is that the intellect it spawns can never fully grasp the living tensions that gave it birth. True transcendence of conflict requires moving beyond analysis into the raw territory of felt experience.
