It's circumstantial- though something I enjoy about our differences is being able to face conflict as opposed to running away from it. I believe like any muscle, it takes a bit of practice or training to develop. Same can be said for tolerance, meditation helps us recognize conflict as it arises in our minds and bodies- it may even help us take a moment before caving in to repeated or undesirable behavior.

Then there is the option of letting it be- not because one is afraid of conflict-resolution but because there is no healthier outlet available. Recognizing something as outside our power and making peace with it. I have been accused by others, and sometimes I am able to see the emotion behind it and better understand where the person is coming from. Whether I have the insight or not, it has proven beneficial to walk away, even if only temporarily.

Whatever happens, happens. Who am I to say where you or another are in their journey, and what is important for you?
