I think there were other cultures that sought peace... we don't hear much about them, but they have existed through time also.

In practical applicable terms, people can choose to resist a fight, which still has them involved - or they can fight back - still in the fight - or they can *step aside and let the opposing force pass right by them without contact or energy spent.

Seems there are times it can be easier said than done.

But if we learn things like how to humor our differences, in a good way, we can still be peaceful and loving even with the most contentious person, say a negative spouse or someone going through a really rough patch and they are so touchy, they want to fight all the time, or on a forum, it can be easy as pie, because you can step aside and let the whole deal pass you - and retain your peace and calmness, still keeping a loving disposition.

So it can work at home and at work, if it it's cultivated in us first.
Practice makes perfect.
I'm practicing at home today!

Oh, how I wish I'd remember this for every occasion - we can usually disengage and step aside when trouble arises, whether it's coming from us or another.

I gotta write this down!!! On real life paper!

Thanks for this thread ((((NTR))))

I like what Daniella said about you, btw. Every word is true.

peace and love,
