"In expressing her anger more directly, she
would not only feel more authentic, but perhaps
help her move her relationship out of stagnation
into a more genuine intimacy."
Toko-pa Turner
The actions of others can trigger our emotions and if we choose to repress them, anger builds. We may tell our lovely selves that we must be respectful and repress the resentment building within us. This may not be the best choice nor is it healthy.
If we are out of harmony, we can still speak with kindness without being argumentative. As we air our opinion, we may irritate the listener, but isn't that more tolerable than building a mountain of fire?
If we acquiesce, does this not indicate approval and misdirect the speaker? We will not be seen nor understood in our entirety if we do not show where we stand. When we simply state our truth, we contribute to a healthy rapport supporting authentic relationships.
