Conflict and love

Conflict. The world is full of it. A difference of opinion. Is a harmonious society even possible? A story of Seraphim of Sarov comes to mind. He was one of the kindest people in his region. Many people came to him for advice, and the local thieves thought he had amassed wealth from hundreds of people who visited him. They attacked him and demanded to know where his treasure was. He told them he did not take any payment from visitors. Then, they beat him up so bad that he lost consciousness. Doctors thought his wounds were so great that he might not survive. Of course, his wealth was out of reach of the local thugs. In court, he pleaded for mercy for them, which made him even richer. Love is like an exquisite wine that gets better with age. It makes me believe that humanity is destined for greatness.
