Yesterday I asked a friend for advice. Here’s the situation: Someone treated me poorly. I was upset, mostly at myself for the way I was reacting. I don’t like it when I hold on to resentment.
This was her advice:
Conflict pops up when we think we have to approve of others insensitivity. Also, when we think we have to do everything all by ourselves. In the grand scheme of things, it is usually not all about us. There’s something bigger happening.
What do you think? Thanks. Shar McBee
Conflict also arises when people have different opinions.
“Practical life teaches us that people may differ and that both may be wrong: it also teaches us that people may differ and both be right. Anchor yourself fast in the latter faith, or the former wil sweep your heart away.” ~August William Hare and Julius Charles Hare, “Guesses at Truth, by Tw Brothers”
Thank you PJ. I appreciate this (and you). Shar
