More From William James

When you are in conflict with someone, there is one factor that can make the difference between damaging your relationship and deepening it. that factor is attitude. we don't get to know people when they come to us; we must go to them to find out what they are like.

For me, addiction comes down to basically where a pattern of behaviour has developed and that pattern of behaviour is becoming a very damaging cycle. it's sort of damaging your relationships, friends or lovers, it's damaging your own personal health and it's damaging for you and your workplace.

So let us decide whether you want a shelter, a safety zone, which will no longer yield conflict, whether you want to escape from the present conflict to enter a condition in which there shall be no conflict; or whether you are unaware, unconscious of this conflict in which you exist. if you are unconscious of the conflict, that is, the battle that is taking place between that self and the environment, if you are unconscious of that battle, then why do you seek further remedies? remain unconscious.
Love Life Truth
There has never been a merging of two lives where significant problems of daily living did not occur. one way or another, your relationship is going to be affected. the only question is how. there's a big difference between knowing and doing. it's not what happens between partners that determines the outcome of a relationship, it's how they handle what happens. if all you deal with in your relationship is problems, then you will have a problem relationship. if you want your pound of flesh with full acknowledgement that you're right, your future will be dim.

Relationship is action, is it not? action has meaning only in relationship; without understanding relationship, action on any level will only breed conflict. the understanding of relationship is infinitely more important than the search for any plan of action. the ideology, the pattern for action, prevents action. action based on ideology hinders the understanding of relationship between man and man.
Understanding Levels Action

Science is the process that takes us from confusion to understanding.
Confusion Understanding Process
We're capable of understanding that someone has to drop an atomic bomb on a town of innocent civilians, but not that others have to cut up prostitutes who spread disease and moral depravity in the slums of london. hence we call the former realism and the latter madness.
Cutting Understanding Bombs
It is no longer a question of a christian going about to convert others to the faith, but of each one being ready to listen to the other and so to grow together in mutual understanding.
