One of my favorite teachers is Dr. Seuss; he captures the human condition so beautifully. One of his stories starts with two people walking toward each other along a narrow road. When they meet, they each refuse to step to the side so that the other can pass. Everyone else builds bridges and even whole cities around them, and life just goes on. But the two stubborn ones stand there for the rest of time, refusing to budge. It never occurs to them even after eight-five years that they could be curious about why the other is refusing to move, or that they could try to communicate. (Pema Chodron. Start Where You Are: A Guide for Compassionate Living)
Wishing you peace and well being as you learn to live together on this earth with our differences and learn to communicate without aggression.
