When you are in conflict and struggling where do you focus your attention to alleviate the suffering? Do you attempt to surmount the conflict, wait it out, distance yourself from it, resolve it through negotiation and bargaining, or focus on any number of other strategies? Placing your attention on getting over the problem misses the systemic link that all problems have. That link is the belief in your separation. When conflict occurs, see if you can surrender your need to be separate, and bear witness to how easily communication can flow from this perspective.
