Where does one find beauty in the face of extreme conflict?

I think that in times of extreme conflict one must find beauty in the little things so that they may stay strong. This is a reminder of what they are fighting for and what they have to live for. One can find beauty in anything, this can be friendship or even just finding beauty in one’s surroundings. If one doesn’t find beauty in life during a time of conflict or struggle then one can lose hope in themselves and they may lose the will to continue fighting for what they have. An example of this is Katniss Everdeen from the hunger games, she fought through the hunger games so she could see her family again and for love. Lastly many people in times of struggle think of their family and loved ones and this helps them get through tough times, for example prisoners of war.

What other ways can people who face extreme conflict cope?
