Omar Khayyam proposed a radical yet simple solution to conflict: a universal embrace of happiness and joy. He symbolized this ideal with wine, a metaphor for the elixir of life's pleasures. If individuals and societies prioritized seeking fulfillment and living life to its fullest, as Khayyam encouraged, perhaps the frequency of quarrels and wars would diminish. Those inclined towards conflict are often driven by anger and hatred, a dangerous combination that can lead to reckless disregard for human life.
