Provocation is on the opposite lane of resolution.

If you need to find out who is your friend
among many, stimulate a resolutive conflict.

You don't need a provocateur,
if demon's been there within you.

Conflict is not a bad thing, all creations need it. At the event when everything is so quiet and immerse, a conflict should be triggered. But when everything is so intense and chaotic, the existing conflict should be reduced. This is how everything is managed and sustained.

Some people do polarizing the religion against science.
I use both to solve a problem with two different kind of approach.

At a certain level of learning and understanding,
right or wrong ain't the issue, but different interest.
