In pondering the goal to cease fighting anything and anybody, it occurs to me that we can best get our point made by using humor...never hostile humor which is only humorous to the sender not the receiver.
To make our point gently requires much discipline...as in, the discipline of training our thoughts. We're going to run our mind anyway (without discipline, it is going to run us), why not learn how to go with happy thoughts, how to rein in our attack thoughts?
In X% of the spiritual material we read, the message comes down to, "Love and laugh." That's all. So there's our starting point for learning how to cease fighting while gently getting our point made (which our reasoning mind calls, "getting that blankety-blank told off").
Love and laughter...this leave God's fingerprints, not ours, on all concerned, the situation, the other person, us. This is also known as ego reduction at depth.
Thank you.
