This might be triggering (mild?) but I dislike seeing the trigger icon in the Sanctuary of all places

The fight or flight response is instinctive. Making peace requires having knowledge of all sides, and having control to promote it. Children don't have that ability. Besides, how would you make peace with abusive people? How would you compromise with abuse? I think you're searching for a way to prove that you didn't do the right thing. How if you can make it your fault, then you deserved it. Reasoning that there are evil people in the world and they harm others is tough. They are the ones who brainwash the others into thinking they were at fault and deserved it.

i completely agree with you about the trig icon in Sanctuary ((Sky)))

Making peace requires having knowledge of all sides, and having control to promote it.

i agree.. making peace requires that we begin in a good place ourselves, really understanding what our meaning and intention is all about, and having the ability to present our peace in a non-threatening, kind, compassionate manner...

how would you make peace with abusive people?

i would emphasize to the abusive party that breathing is important... abuse has the capability of escalating even into death of the physical body... when two combatants face each other in mortal combat, only one exits as victor... not much different than our own current world war situation.... no one wins in this type scenario.....

making peace begins with the ability to appreciate ones own breathing....

I think you're searching for a way to prove that you didn't do the right thing.

conversely, i might be searching for a way to prove i have done the right thing and i am seeking support and companionship ...

thank you Sky, many blessings to you
