T3 - Oppositions - C 1

Opposition: to place against something as to provide
resistance or contrast; to strive against; a hostility:
a contrariness; a setting against something on the
other side.

This is a recipe for CONFLICT, ranging between low
levels like the inner personality characteristic of
contrariness all the way to the extremely high level
outer phenomenon of personal, national and
international warfare.

We all suffer from inner conflicts and this can make
us dissatisfied and unresolved. We’re constantly on
edge and sometimes we run up against
circumstances or other people that take us over the
edge. If we don’t have the skills and resources
(moral: get skills, get resources) to handle the
situations or people we make mistakes or flare into
conflict. This can result in kicking ourselves for the
mistake afterwards, arguments or if we have
political power on the scale of Presidents and
Advisors, warfare.

There are myriad reasons why we’re so conflicted.
Can you analyze one of yours (the reasons and the
conflict) and present it as comment(s)?

We’re conflicted because we’ve heard too many opinions. Most of them are different from all the others and if we don’t already know the answers to the puzzles in the situation or the relationship or the things we want, the myriad opinions only present multiple viewpoints that reveal the paucity of definition that life offers. Of course we get angry when we don’t know which way to turn.

Sometimes we choose an idea that seems appealing at the time and when that runs its course and subsequently we’re disillusioned we’re back where we started with our questions unanswered and an ever deepening sense of helplessness.

Is there any possible resolution to this repetitious quandry?

No.
