Conflicting versions of reality can cause pain and suffering
Individuals that have opposing beliefs or values are likely to get into verbal or physical conflicts as a result of having different perceptions of each other or the world they live in.

For example, in the text ‘Spies’ by Michael Frayn, Stephen Wheatley, allows Barbara Berill into a hideout in the bushes where him and his best friend Keith Hayward carry out their investigations of The Close.
