Using the metaphor of a burn warning from a hot stove, she illustrates how conflicts offer lessons for personal growth. The article delves into the roots of conflict, often tied to ego and the fear of losing self-worth. Bensman proposes a transformative approach, advocating for understanding others' perspectives, relinquishing the need to be right, taking personal responsibility, and accepting what cannot be changed, thus forging a path from conflict to compassion.\nRead along with the original article(s) here: https://tinybuddha.com/blog/from-conflict-to-compassion-put-love-above-winning/\nQuotes to ponder:\n"Let go of your attachment to being right and suddenly your mind is more open."\n"It seems as though our very civilization is built on this tension between winning and loving."\n"Transcending this desire for rightness requires that we build a pathway out and that we cultivate that pathway, tend it, and keep it free of stumbling blocks."\nEpisode references:\nA Letter to a Hindu by Leo Tolstoy\nLearn more about your ad choices.
