Gb thought keyword dispute Rav Zalman nechemia Goldberg in Moriah 169-170, page 63 explains the concept of conflict. He brings a midrash which says that when hashem consulted with the Angels if he should create the world or not, the angel of Peace sided against creating it, explaining that the whole creation is filled with conflict and discord, not peace. This, explains rabbi Goldberg, is the world's nature and essence. In other words it breeds conflict, struggles, and battles, both positive -- against the evil, and negative --against the spiritual. Every second of our lives we construe opposing opinions and new Machlokes. Our mission, though, is to quiet the natural raging machlokes against the spiritual. We must let that fire die down.
