RE: What is at the root of conflict between mankind? (EcoTrain QOTW)
I think it is the essence of life that drives conflict. The Ying Yang's eternal swings create light and darkness, oppression and freedom, love and fear. Idealists will always try and come up with the final solution to everything to reach eternal love, but without knowing create new conflicts along the path. Those who seek to control and dominate will lift the new freedom movements without wanting to. The middle path offers liberation from the wheel of Karma but it is not easy for our egos to surrender. Much as we may complain, we are addicted to this rollercoaster of high and lows, and will continue to live it until we are finally ready to let go. I do however agree on that we all crave love, and this is the one true medicine. Thank you for sharing your thoughts!
This is really interesting, and I think it can turn out this way in some cases.
I see the Yin Yang interplay in nature, prey/preditor, the cycle of life from death and decay in the seasons etc. And you are 100% right that it is not easy for our egos to surrender.
This is key for how I personally approach trying to get off the rollercoaster once in a blue moon. It's nearly always the ego that keeps me trapped in cyclical thinking. But even the act of noticing when it's happening allows for those moments when you can escape the narrative the ego is constantly constructing.
Awesome m8. Couldn't agree more.
