Comments From the Heart
The ego is always creating symbols of defeat, just so it can tell itself it was in a fight. Its claim to reality is, "I oppose therefore I am." No wonder we often come away from conversations, even with friends, feeling slightly disappointed and dissatisfied. I delude myself if I think I am communicating simply because I am literal. No two individuals' emotions are identical. On that level, there is no joining. Only degrees of separateness can be expressed. Something deeper than "honestly" broadcasting my superficial thoughts and feelings is needed if I am to achieve a real connection with another person.

Transcending Right & Wrong
There can be no absolute right or wrong in a world of individuals. Reality is what reality is. Whatever it may be, it is so vast that no one person sees it all. There could be no more relationship standoffs if simply this much were realized: We are all looking at the same immense reality—and each of us is seeing something. When I reject another person's point of view completely, I am saying that he or she is not looking at anything. I already know what I have to say. Wouldn't it at least be more interesting to hear what they have to say?
