“All sadness is a tantrum.”
Byron Katie
It is a war with what is (reality).
You don’t have to be disagreeable when you disagree. Getting hateful and angry when encountering someone who doesn’t share your beliefs is a sign that you have complete identification with your thoughts. But your thoughts are just that – your thoughts.
You are not your thoughts.
It takes two to keep it going.
Their fighting is your inner battle – your own malcontent
when the volume rises and their words get sharp
when your heart seeks shelter and your fingers flutter
let it roll over you
they’ll work it out with fists of hurt
and lash each other with words of stone
until they’re bruised and bloodied
let it roll over you
let it go
it’s theirs
not yours
