Can we embrace the conflict within? A psychiatrist friend once said, "we HAVE to be able to deal with our mixed feelings." It is normal and natural to feel mixed about things. In this day and age of instant and immediate reactions to events and ideas we are encouraged to feel only one way about things. What ever happened to saying "Well, I'll have to think about that for a while," or let me "meditate" on that. Can we admit that we have mixed feelings about something or does that somehow say we are "weak" and/or indecisive?
I feel that if we embrace our mixed feelings it will ultimately make us feel more whole and integrated. We ARE NOT one dimensional, we DO have many different feelings (sometimes opposing) that make us whole and human. It's a beautiful thing... EMBRACE YOUR TOTALITY!
