We know God's hand is in the mix when we get a win-win. The trouble is our ego is ever with us, and we have to be wary of a win-win that we have engineered...or manipulated if we want the word with the bark on it.
We must be wary because the ego, always legislating for itself, can pull off an apparent win-win when, in fact, it is a "You win, but I win a tish more and/or better." This, of course, leaves the other with a less than wonderful feeling, wondering what just happened...and that he's going to have to pay somebody back about something.
The real ego-tripper is winning by looking humblest...we both win, but I, being ruthlessly, scrupulously honest ("too much information" aborning) win bigger. Again, the other walks away feeling (but not knowing why) she's going to have to pay somebody back about something.
The source of all our ills may just be in the unconscious feeling that we must win. Just win. How to be an always winner? Be right. How to always be right? Know...never be caught not knowing.
In truth, unknowing is the source of perfect peace. That can only be, unknowing as perfect peace, if and as we trust that God has our back...lives within us/without us...is ever with us...and only shows/flows forth as good, our personal good.
There. That is truth. And we can never know exactly how that is...how it is that God is.
Thank you.
