Conflict is an element of the human condition and arises from the interplay between desire, moral failure, and social interaction. This study employed a conceptual and exploratory research design aimed at constructing a theoretical model rather than collecting primary empirical data. The study critically synthesizes existing literature, theories of human behaviour, and conflict studies to present the Inherent Conflict Model, which roots human conflict at the intersection of innate tendencies towards self-interest and the need for moral restraint. The model posits that the heart is inherently inclined toward evil, and desire is limitless. The essay integrates some recent theological, psychological, and evolutionary studies with classical philosophy to provide a multidimensional understanding of conflict. Ultimately, the model advocates for self-evaluation and the renewal of the mind, both spiritually and ethically, as a pathway forward in mitigating human conflict.
