Conflict Is a Destructive Force

Not all conflict is destructive. Not all conflict is a destructive force in our lives. Conflict is more of a constructive force that results in building something new no matter how bad the outcome of conflict.

Conflict can be destructive at times but something constructive eventually arises from it displaying the more powerful force being constructive.

Despite the "Third Force" idea by Pyle and Assange’s belief for exposing the truth having obvious destructive features, they contain a more constructive like outcome in terms
