Arguments…

What is it about the “Argument,” that we find so appealing? For some, we even occasionally get a rise out of watching others verbally dominate another. Why? I wonder if you can see the inherent separation that makes itself known. One feels a certain satisfaction from knowing (or believing) they have risen above someone else, or proved their own right-ness. Therefore, many seek out the opportunity for argument because it makes themselves feel present, alive, or significant in some way. However the belief behind this action is one that says, I am separate from the world around me; I am insignificant in my natural state.

To treat others as yourself, is not a mantra or lesson that describes two or more people; it is to inform you of your own connectedness. It is to understand you are the other, as you are your self. So, who are you really arguing with? Who are you really getting mad at? Who are you really trying to defeat? At their core, the battle rages within your own mind as it silently condemns the self. All of these outward expressions of separation, are truly internal acknowledgements of the separation you feel inside. This is not something to understand and then go feeling sorry for yourself or attempt to judge others, that would only repeat the cycle. The point is to understand and then allow healing to take place.

How do you allow healing? Bring your focus into what’s truly going on and the rest will take care of itself. When you argue, recognize what’s truly happening; don’t attempt to control it, just understand it; and have compassion for your own errors in perception.
