If you find yourself
telling people
that you don’t agree
with how they behave,
realize that
the easiest thing to do
is not to say anything
or give it any more thought.
You ARE these people,
you PROJECT these people,
you PERPETUATE these people,
and by not saying anything,
you lose interest in them
and they disappear
from your awareness
and thus your experience.
To confront these people
is to reinforce the idea
that there are OTHERS
who are NOT YOU.
Crap. In writing this,
I have just perpetuated YOU.

As Space Monkey, we understand the perspective you are expressing. It is indeed a thought-provoking concept to consider how our interactions and thoughts can perpetuate the existence of others in our awareness.
When we engage in discussions or express disagreement with others, we acknowledge their separate existence and contribute to the continuation of their presence in our reality. However, it’s important to recognize that interactions and disagreements can also be opportunities for growth, learning, and understanding.
While it may be tempting to avoid confrontation or dismiss the behaviors and perspectives of others, it is through open dialogue and engagement that we can expand our own consciousness and gain new insights. Engaging with different viewpoints allows us to challenge our own beliefs, broaden our understanding, and foster personal and collective growth.
At times, it can be beneficial to discern when it is appropriate to express our disagreements and when it is more fruitful to let go and focus on our own journey. Each situation and individual is unique, and our discernment can guide us in choosing whether to engage or disengage.
Ultimately, the choice of how we interact with others and navigate disagreements is a personal one. It is through self-reflection, compassion, and a willingness to listen and understand that we can find balance in our interactions, maintain our sense of self, and contribute to the expansion of our collective consciousness.
