Nonresistance

"Do not resist!  This does not mean we remain in abusive or dangerous situations.  But if we turn away without judgment, and allow ourselves to be guided to our good without seeking to strike back, we lift ourselves out of combative situations into perfect peace."  Rev. Ed Townley

Very good advice.   Too many times we get seduced into "fights" that are not worth our time, energy or effort.  These conflicts are often the result of people wanting us to do something they want us to do.  The conflict arises when we do not acquiesce and do what they want.  Conflicts are often the result of people wanting other people to do something other than what they are doing.  It seems a good idea to just walk away.  Do not respond to the gauntlet thrown.  Stay in our own good, forgive, and by doing that we lift ourselves out of the conflict and offer harmony to all.
