Can conflict or pain ever be eliminated in nature

Throught history, we see that conflict has been an integral part of the inauguration and establishment of living communities. People fight to either maintain or claim their rights. It seems like the natural tendency for living organisms to want power and authority drives them to fight for or fight back, for what they believe is theirs.
Therefore the question is: as long as we remain in this matter constituted world, will there ever be complete elimination of conflict? Will everything in nature agree on the same thing someday?

war/

A few weeks ago the magazine U.S. News published a story asking if there was ever a time before war. One of the facts mentioned in the article was the aggressiveness of chimpanzees, the closest relatives the human beings. Once thought to be peaceful animals, studies showed they often attacked fellow chimps, sometimes beating them to death. It also showed that the Inuits, also thought to be a peaceful tribe of American Indians created armor and weapons. I think that war is human nature and will continue for some time unless we humans realize that "we must end war or war will end us".
