Behind Every Conflict is a Deeper Issue

Behind every conflict is a deeper issue, but society embraces superficiality and doesn’t want to go deeper to understand the true reason behind the conflict. Some pretend the problem doesn’t exist or they “fix” the problem at the surface level. Others try to wait the problem out in hopes that it disappears. As a result, the conflict is never resolved and is only perpetuated.

Some of the conflicts I face are due to people assuming that just because I’m into beauty, that I am also ditzy. So they attack me in subtle ways to instill their thoughts of me, onto me. They attack subtly to create self-doubt and to make me question who I am. To question my intelligence. But I know who I am; and I am not dumb. I am both beautiful and intelligent. I like beauty and business.

Please don’t mistake my confident self-talk for arrogance. It’s been a battle to finally own who I truly am. But more importantly, to uncover others for who they truly are. So to resolve any conflict, it’s best to start by uncovering the conflict behind the conflict.
