I don't like a tremendous amount of conflict. I don't think that fighting and passion are the same thing.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I don't like conflict.
Having passion does not mean you have to descend into bickering and fighting.
I don't like conflicts. I'm not a competitive person at heart. To be in the middle of turmoil is boring.
Conflict is very much a state of mind. If you're not in that state of mind, it doesn't bother you.
You never want conflict. But sometimes conflict is inevitable.
It certainly seems as though a great majority of genre is conflict-focused and, not only that, but focused on large physical conflicts.
Conflicts are never caused in any simple way by identity, culture or economics. Where resources are scarce, or there are strong historical memories of conflict, small events are more likely to inflame passions.
I'm not interested in passion and love for their own sake - without the struggle of life, they're just fluff.
Conflict is drama, and how people deal with conflict shows you the kind of people they are.
The passions are the same in every conflict, large or small.
