in most instances ive been happy when i didnt say the first thing that comes to mind.. i view conflict in a strange way (who's surprised?)
its like the plates of the earth scraping.. the Earth reforms around the new positions and eventually settles..
the moment of conflict is the moment of creation...
nature is haphazard but also efficient...
its a challenge for me as a human to manage the conflict with the least damage and the most growth...
that takes some thought... sometimes the first thing outta my mouth isnt always the smartest, for me or others..
geez its taken me a long time to learn this!
taking a 'so am i, but what are you?' approach to conflict is the haphazard way in my view...
i know you most likely have thought about this for some times Doh...
good thread
