i find myself more willing to accept that we will not always find solutions to challenges in relationships of all sorts. So that the best approach is often to let people and situations go willingly . If is is not possible to do so it may be best to find the best peaceful solution to the situation whether in personal or larger social situations. In court situations it is called ‘no contest’. In personal situations it is called letting go. In international situations it is called a treaty. By no means does it mean someone else has won or they are right. It just means that an impasse has happened and there is no acceptable agreement by all parties involved, so a contingency plan has been arrived at to resolve unacceptable and continuing disputes that may exasperate and worsen divisions and differences. Recently I had such a court case. I never understood the spiritual reason for having been ‘falsely accused’ and thought it was just karmic in nature. With some distance in evaluating the situation though, I think I had to learn a spiritual lesson in the situation. That is that even though I may have been right, it would only escalate the problems for myself by continuing to fight the situation. We at times have to recognize that others may never give up their views even though they may be wrong. So it is not always our responsibility to play God about the issues. Since God will play that role himself.
