Emotions that cause conflict include jealousy, resentment, hatred, contempt, and pride. And when it comes to ideas that push us toward conflict, we can mention fundamentalism, exclusivism, chosen-people ideology, egocentrism, and the dualism of good and evil.

Once you've controlled your own bad feelings, the next step is to stop believing in ideas such as fundamentalism, exclusivism, electoralism, egotism, and the dualism of good and evil. Only by giving up all beliefs can we truly give up bad feelings.

To have a heart of compassion, it is necessary to listen carefully to what others have to say, to help each other and have a sense of camaraderie, to respect their intentions, and to be grateful to those who support them. Compassion is what builds better relationships with others.

Ideology is a collection of conceptual ideas based on political and economic systems. Ideologies are ideals and fantasies separated from reality, and are therefore seen as strong beliefs at the same time. For those who strongly believe in an idea, people who disagree with it are often seen as enemies. Therefore, it is said that ideology gives birth to conflict and causes war and social unrest. The problem is that having an ideology as a belief tends to develop into an aggressive mentality that tries to exclude others.
Religion refers to doctrines centered on beliefs and rituals in some sacred and absolute things. Religions sometimes have a strong influence on people's minds, and as a result, in some cases, people who believe in religions behave abnormally socially, and conflicts between religions intensify, leading to wars.

Prayer means making a request to the gods. If all the people in the world wished for world peace and prayed to the gods and buddhas, perhaps world peace could soon be realized. If there are no exclusive people who want to attack others immediately, and more people who face the gods and buddhas with honesty and straightly and devote their hearts to prayers, conflicts and confrontations may decrease. If having a heart of prayer has the power to change the world, then by all means many people should have a heart of prayer.
Discrimination is a distinction, and it refers to making a difference in service and treatment. People get what they do. There will be good rewards for those who do good, and bad rewards for those who do bad. It may be natural to discriminate between those who have done good deeds and those who have done bad deeds.

Discrimination causes resentment and hatred in people's hearts.

Also, even if the information itself is not grossly wrong, people who are incited to use it may behave abnormally.
Human rights are rights that humans are born with. Human rights are given to all people when they are born. However, in many cases, people live under the constraints of the environment in which they were born and raised. Human rights are not necessarily protected equally for all human beings. However, if human rights are unfairly restricted by the state or society, it is a big problem. Human rights should be protected as long as necessary. Unfair restrictions on human rights must be eliminated as much as possible.
A conspiracy is a secret scheme. There are people in the world who pretend to be good people while plotting bad schemes behind the scenes. Conspiracies are planned and carried out without people's knowledge. However, once a conspiracy is exposed, it ceases to be a conspiracy.

So-called conspiracy theories are used to provoke social unrest by declaring certain people to be the bad guys.
When conflicts and conflicts intensify in society, many people become unhappy. Conflicts and people's misfortunes occur because of some cause. If we can eliminate the causes of people's conflicts and fights, and the causes of people's unhappiness, we should be able to reduce conflicts and people's unhappiness.

With the idea of harmony at the center, people's minds and society are organized and softened.
Worldly desires are small, fleeting thoughts and dreams. Dreaming is never a bad thing. Many people have dreams, set goals to make them come true, and work hard to reach those goals. Dreams make the world go round. Dreams can change the world for the better or for the worse. Achieving one dream does not necessarily make a person happy. Also, many people feel resentment and envy toward others when their dreams are not realized.
