Some say disputes are manifestations of deep-rooted conflict. I would say that when unattended, arguments and disputes can easily concretise into conflict – almost like a normal wound if allowed to fester turn gangrenous. So, the question comes “Is dispute a manifestation of inherent conflict OR hardened disputes lead to conflict!?” I would say that both are possible depending on the circumstances.
When parties are in a conflict situation they are in a competitive negative mindset and they always see the glass half empty. So, it is always better to seek advice from a third Neutral party who is not involved in the conflict itself.
