Good mawning.
While sitting in the dark reflecting on the lack of balance between neutralizing and facilitating, it reminded me of the imbalance that can occur between yin and yang energies. When there is too much force or doing, rest and down time seems to be needed. Both are needed...experience and application in check with reflection and fuller integration.
As I was thinking of what neutralizing was needed, I heard screaming. A cry for help. Saying that nothing was done wrong. Louder and louder this cry for help was pronounced.
After a long struggle, force seemed to win. The screaming muffled, the cries waned. And eventually the scene was cleared and the silence restored.
But silence isn't peace. And there was probably a better, more balanced way to handle the situation. Offering multiple options and opportunities for a more compassionate result.
At some point, you're going to want the compassion you withheld or you will want the peace that forcing doesn't offer.
My example, physical injuries and pain from forcing a physical outcome a.k.a. exercise. The coach kept saying " No pain, no gain." Well, I pushed through...and I gained...not only more pain, but an aversion to the exercises.
Let's start looking into the other side of our actions before we force our own selves into its comprehension. Let's start remembering that there is a balance for everything. And when we approach from a more balanced perspective, things play out much better...for all involved.
