Conflict is a natural part of existence. Life is a struggle for survival for every organism at every level. Everyone must fight for something at times, though some struggle more than others, and often unnecessarily. Brute force will sometimes get you through a challenge, but usually not without hurting and depleting yourself in the process. Brute physical, intellectual and emotional conflict often causes a great deal of collateral damage. There are gentler and more graceful ways to interface with natural conflict. As you spiritually mature you will begin to look at conflict in less self-centered ways. You will realize that engagement is an option. There is an enlightened way to flow with, in, and through conflict. Learn to resist but do not be un-moveable in your resistance. Resist like the water. Flow. You dont have to win. You dont have to be right. You dont always have to teach the the corrective lesson. Sometimes you can teach the lesson of patience and non-engagement. Be wise. Sometimes it is best to stand back from conflict and allow other elements in someones life to do the hard work for you. Time is a masterful teacher. Silence is a masterful teacher. When we want to talk, we can instead listen, and let our attentiveness to anothers need to speak, be our silent statement. But whatever you do, always do it in love and not anger, and in compassion, not contempt. — Bryant McGill (This passage is from Simple Reminders the book.
