In the face of adversity, most people question why.
As I move through life, I’m finding that those types of why questions are becoming increasingly immature. My understanding is becoming such that, if something exists, it exists with purpose. As mysterious or as hard as that purpose may be, it is completely important that it is found and used to propel my life forward.
This is in regards to reflection; the past tense. There is also a very real present tense adversity that seeks life out, with the intention of destruction. Quite often this looks like conflict.
Generosity towers over conflict. Generosity I’m finding in my life is a verb form of another word, that being, Peace. I believe very strongly in the idea of Peace. It is so completely predicatable to fight conflict with conflict; I am predicatable when I’m the person I’m not intended to be.
This week conflict sought me out and I didn’t fail. I was able to see it for what it was and I was able to respond in such a way that was beneficial to not only my life, but in a way genuinely interested in the benefit of the other person involved. This is a disciplined practice. A practice that I intend to uphold and become more efficient in as I move through this life.
A measure of how progessive a life is lived is to examine how many enemies surround that life. I’m taking assurance in the fact that there are enemies in my life.
