Integration without Conflict Possible?

"Why do you object to conflict? You all seem to think conflict is a dreadful thing. At present you and I are in conflict, are we not? I am trying to tell you something, and you don’t understand; so there is a sense of friction, conflict. And what is wrong with friction, conflict, disturbance? Must you not be disturbed? Integration does not come when you seek it by avoiding conflict. It is only through conflict, and the understanding of conflict, that there is integration.
Integration is one of the most difficult things to come by, because it means complete unification of your whole being in all that you do, in all that you say, in all that you think. You cannot have integration without understanding relationship- your relationship with society, villager, beggar, millionare and the governor.To understand relationship you must struggle with it, you must question and not merely accept the values established by tradition, parents, by the priest, by the religion and the economic system of the society about you. That it why it is essential for you to revolt, otherwise you will never have integration."
