Letting go

Published by Molly Friesen at 7:41 am under General Peacemaking

Sharon just passed on to me a blog that tells a story of conflict … It’s actually pretty painful to read, given how much frustration and injustice the speaker has experienced.  Not only were Amy and her husband in conflict with someone over a business deal, but Amy admits that she and her husband were often at odds about how to address the situation, and her anger unjustly spilled out against her husband.

I’d encourage you to read her whole post — it’s not long, it’s humbly written, and it contains some great insights.  To whet your appetite, here’s her closing paragraph:

When I was thinking about telling this story, I planned to tell you in detail about how right I was, but in the end, I chose to tell you how wrong I am. It’s not something I’ve overcome; it seems I find myself fighting daily the need for justice in everything from headline crime to a stolen parking spot. Sometimes it’s not about winning, but about letting go.
