#Adversarial

How does an adversarial scenario begin?

Often, it's when you seek someone to blame. Blame is a form of accusation that separates and alienates you from others.

However, collapsing the distinction between 'us' and 'them' fosters a span of connection that bridges differences. This connection allows you to move towards others, shifting your perspective from focusing on what's wrong to exploring what's possible.

Next time you feel inclined to blame, pause and expand your awareness. Include, rather than reject, those you have previously excluded from your version of 'us.' Start small by including one person or situation that you haven't taken the time to understand.

By seeing others through this lens of connection, you'll discover new possibilities for empathy and cooperation.
