-”I don’t see it that way, but I certainly appreciate your point.” -This is a phrase I have found myself recently using. In a conversation where I’m being sold a view based on a world were symptoms are the problem, I find myself in total disagreement and complete appreciation of another’s opinion. In my response, I see how these words can disarm the fear one might have, by me not being in agreement with their ideology.
I appreciate their belief, because in acceptance I discover they have a natural right to believe whatever; as do I have the ability to use consciousness in anyway I see fit. In a place of judgment, this social interaction would only become an argument with the hope of fleeting satisfaction. In your daily connection with others, I encourage you to see acceptance as the healing agent for your soul, and argument as the disease which darkens your heart.
Did you find genuine value within this post? If you did, then most likely you know someone else who will as well. I invite you to share the goodness!

-I just had a conversation about this very thing. I came to the realization that there is no understanding in disagreement. All it serves is to prove to yourself that your different than the person you disagree with. In fact this is as far as from the truth as one can get.
There is no difference between you and the other unless you decdide there is. It is unnecessary to say you disagree with someone, that is a given, as no one else has, or ever will have, your perspective. What I used to call disagreements are now opportunities to understand myself more fully, by vocalizing my unique point of view to who ever is willing to listen. I invite them to make assumptions and judge, it will only give me the opportunity to clarify myself further.
I recognized something in your writing that was present in me not too long ago. I see now that everyone is playing their perfect role, that can only be altered by them. I have no right to wish anything about this universe were different, but I do have the right to influence it through my action. Be mindful of how your influencing others, disagreement is a powerful stance to take, it only serves to further seperate, what canoot be made unwhole. Word.
