Just a short pontification I wrote back in February , thought I would share.
Understand
Imagine an understanding of all things.
Believe in harmony.
Trust in the process.
Agree to disagree.
Let go of the power struggle.
Easier said than done.
This does not in fact make us powerless. It's just not necessary to struggle until you've lost all energy and hope that the outcome will be what you expected. Expectations lead to disappointment when we begin without the willingness to compromise nor the humility to accept an alternate outcome. Our way or no way IS no way.
Breathe think live love and be the responsible kind generous genuine person you are. When confronted with control,anger,violent responses, choose not to participate. Let it go. To continue in the chaos and believe that you will come out to be the 'winner' is just setting ourselves up to be in a lose lose situation, you may have won the battle but at what expense? Crushed feelings, broken hearts, bruised souls. But at least you won....Right?
Indeed, carefully choose the hill you are willing to kill or die for. All else in conflict leads to lose/lose. There may be some things worth it. Very damn few. Most of the time kindness and mercy trump weapons and armor.
ReplyDeleteI used to think winning was everything. Sometimes, I still it wish it were so simple, thinking it.
