Why do we fight? Because we're not being treated the way we want to be treated. What do we want? Respect for our strengths and compassion for our weaknesses. How do we give that to others and get it for ourselves?
That's what Doing the Right Thing is all about!

"We can choose not to be hurt. We can choose to be curious instead."
I really enjoyed this series of posts, Marianne. This is such an important concept, and one that's been "up front" for me a lot in recent years.
It's not only about choosing a different reaction for ourselves. It's also about understanding that whatever comes from another person is "their shit" (pardon my French). As my wonderful therapist says, with more decorum, "their reaction is THEIRS." In other words, it's more about them than about you.
You talk about this in your great metaphor about purple hair. They may think that you have purple hair (or that your actions were designed to hurt them) but the reality is that they have purple eyes! (or that they're hurting for some other reason unrelated to you).
Thanks for the affirmation.
Thanks, Pegarooni!
