Journal 8 - How does conflict end?

I think that they way a lot of conflicts end in the world around me is unpeaceful. Both groups may say that they are content with the compromise but the tension does not diminish. That takes time. On a global scale, conflicts are so volatile that if they come close to being resolved, one slight move can reignite the conflict and the cycle continues. It just seems that often times, we say we are happy with the situation and walk away but we would still be willing to engage in the conflict all over again. People have become desensitized to conflict and are not as opposed to it as may have been the case in the past.
