Lawrence: We are a conflicted people - all of us are. We engage in
conflicts throughout life. The nations that represent us also engage in
conflicts.
Conflicts make a better story, that's for sure. So maybe there's a
narratological base for our conflicts? If consciousness is a narrative,
maybe we need conflict to make sense of our lives? Similarly with
nations: lacking conflict, they would vanish and nobody would notice
their absence.

PS: What's bad for the hero of the story is good for the plot. That may
be the original fatal apple in concentrate form.
