Conflicting Conflicts

What sort of conflict is worse to endure?: man vs. man, man vs. nature, or man vs. self? Do you have to be a stronger person to deal with one type of conflict or the other? Make sure you justify your response and elaborate; remember, a sentence is not a response.

In my opinion, man vs. self is the worst. It is someone who is fighting with him or herself, but cannot tell people about it. No one can really understand another person's mind. You have to be much stronger to be against one's self so that person doesn't just break down.

I think man vs. self is worse because if I do something wrong then I am always battling myself and asking why I did it. When I am in class there is always a part of me that wants to listen and get
good grades but there is also a part of me that wants to be lazy and talk to a friend. I find it very hard to listen in class when I have distractions.
I don't think that you have to be strong to deal with man vs. self because it is easy to transition
from talking to settling down and listening.

I think that man vs. nature is the worst sort of conflict because man itself cannot control a natural disaster by discussing why tering up a home is not nessicary. When Hurricane Katrina hit Louisiana, President Bush didn't evacuate people before this happened but it's the same thing as man vs. nature; he couldn't control what happened. If someone was stranded in the middle of the desert, he/she would have to endure the environment and it's changes. It would be harder to control the nature then someone yelling at you (man vs. man). If I was stranded on an Island, i wouldn't have anyone to have a conflict with. The nature would control everything and I wouldn't be able to talk to it and ask for a perfect day, i would have to deal with it. If it was man vs. man it would be a little easier I think to sort out by negotiating but not man vs. nature; it has difficult things to deal with.
