If the main underlying principle of all storytelling is 'conflict' (which is maybe debatable but not by the people who make money from writing stories), does this mean that all humans, as inveterate consumers of stories, are driven in life to seek out/expect conflict?

Getting wildly off-topic here but one of my favourite depictions of the use/vlaue/power of stories is, of all things, the first Croods movie.
