Human relationships are a complex web. Often the most perfect trifle leads to a big quarrel. In this regard, popular wisdom says: a bad world is better than a good quarrel.
Conflict level
The quarrel, to which the conflict of interests led, can be both at the household interpersonal level, and between groups of people, countries and even associations of countries. What is the difference between a family quarrel and an international conflict? Is folk wisdom applicable and relevant in all cases?
Family conflicts
Family life is a difficult and thorny path, when two separate individuals live together, adjusting to each other. Often, one of the spouses, contrary to their interests, has to meet the other. However, this is not always easy. Of course, it is best to try to abstract away when a family quarrel is brewing. You can go to the movies, walk in the park, chat with friends on extraneous topics. Such a distraction from the overdue conflict will allow the spouses to cool down their ardor to some extent and think: is it worth it? Indeed, quite often quarrels are born because of little things that are not worth attention. Here the wisdom "a bad world is better than a good quarrel" is perfectly applicable.
However, this method is not applicable to all married couples. And here it is a matter of temperament. For some spouses, letting off steam is simply vital. The grandiose scandal with the smashing of dishes brings peace and tranquility to their family hearth. From the outside it seems that this is not life, but a continuous nightmare. But they express their feelings in quarrels. In this case, a kind quarrel is preferable, since its function is not to break off relations, but to strengthen them.
Sometimes the situation is so tense and causes the parties such suffering and anguish that a "bad peace" is simply impossible here, and a "good quarrel" is likely to end in the collapse of the family.
Large-scale conflicts
The so-called "good quarrels" can also arise between individual countries or their unions. But unlike family quarrels, they entail grave consequences associated with large-scale human and other losses. And if for the country the death of several hundred thousand people does not play a special role, then for the people themselves it is a great tragedy. And the restoration of the economy and political stability in the country after such conflicts, usually resulting in wars, takes a lot of time and effort. The question often arises: did the victorious country really achieve a brilliant victory, or did it still suffer a defeat? In international relations, popular wisdom, according to which a bad peace is preferable to the kindest quarrel, is most welcome.
