Tug of War Salman Tahir

In this world of ours, there has always been a centuries long "tug of war" between the west and the east, the practical and geographical west and east. More specifically, the eastern hemisphere, and the western hemisphere of the world. The west and east are significantly divided not only because of their geographical and physical contrasts, such as the weather and the people's natural skin tone. But, the significant division is caused due to their culture, traditions, religion, and customs. The world has been in constant chaos and unrest due to constant confrontations between these two domains. While over the centuries, both have tried to prove themselves right and both have tried to conquer the significant other in order to be the supreme power. Astonishingly, both claim the reasoning of the chaos, or "back-fire" they have done over the history, was to maintain peace in the world. While the history is witness that this hostility of the west and the east has only caused riots. The question we we want an answer for is, that if both the sides strive for peace, then why has there been an unrest since a long time? If the fight continues what could be the ultimate result? How much loss can it cause? Who is the right one in this war? Or more significantly, is there a right one?
