First I-dentification, then Enmity follows like a shadow that never leaves ...

[Guest guest]

Friends:

Silly Confrontational Opposition:

 

"I"-Dentification leading to aversion: "'I Am'... Green, while 'You Are'... Blue";"Therefore 'I Am' Against 'You'...";"Therefore Are You Against Me...";"Therefore I Fear You !!!";"Therefore I Hate You !!!"Non-"I"-Dentification leading to harmony:

"This is Green, while that is Blue ...""So is it! So be it! Let it be! Let it go!...""Polarity is Pain and Diversity is Noise...""Unity is Peace and Harmony is Bliss...""As we both & all can, so let us Meditate!"Please repeat the argument exchanging the Green/Blue pair with these common pairs:Black/White, Rich/Poor, Educated/Uneducated, High/Low, Man/Woman, Young/Old, Big/Small, Intelligent/Stupid, Beautiful/Ugly, Strong/Weak, Eastern/Western, North/Southern, RaceX/RaceY, ReligionX/ReligionY, CultureX/CultureY, etc...SkinX/SkinY NationalityX/NationalityY, etc...PoliticalX/PoliticalY, ColorX/ColorY, etc...FamilyX/FamilyY, GroupX/GroupY etc....!

 

Friendship is the Greatest ! and the entire Noble Life...
