As a society, we are addicted to fighting. Whenever we encounter something we don’t want or don’t like we feel obliged to fight it. We believe we have only two choices: to fight or to be a victim.
And sometimes fighting is necessary. Sometimes you need to fight in order to have peace in one area of your life. But sometimes we fight when it doesn’t make sense. We fight so that others won’t think we are weak. We fight for entertainment or out of boredom. We fight even when fighting is harmful to us – the very definition of an addictive behavior. Sometimes, many times, fighting is an obstacle to peace.
Like all addictions, we can only give it up when we can replace it with something else. Learning alternatives to fighting can be a path to peace.
Today, think about what you fight against.
