I am reblogging this, because not only is it great–I love the criticism cartoon!
Conflict comes because two people are searching for the truth and think they have contradictory information.
War comes because someone wants another person to agree with them regardless of the truth.
At the root of this, for me, is the way in which we become attached to ideas about ourselves and to our own actions. If we have an unhealthy relationship with ourselves, we are likely to go to war instead of having a healthy row.
For this argument there are two opposing positions to take in life:
One: all you say, do and create is an expression of you, and what happens to these expressions happens to you.
Two: Once you have said, done or created something, that thing has a separate existence from you – it’s nothing to do with you any more.
Just to give them names, we can call type Ones Clingers, and type Twos Refusers.

Thanks Susan – Glad you enjoyed it 🙂
I needed a good laugh (and think) today. This provided both.
Happy to oblige – hope everything’s okay Poppet 😀
🙂 it is. Working on a pantoum that wants to (and needs to) be more than a pantoum. I need a final fifth stanza out of the form that will kick ASS.
what is wrong with us! Did a villanelle tonight – clearly it’s poetry self-flagellation night 😯
LOL, this is one I did back in June–and what I am doing is breaking out of the pantoum at the end to bring it home and hopefully jettison it to the moon. Of course, mine does not rhyme (rebel that I am). It is strung together by meter and repetition. Your vilanelle is much more ambitious.
My Villy is stupid – I got half way through before realising there are only 8 words that rhyme with crossed and I needed 7 of them! (unless I decided he was going to get his teeth flossed!)
LOL, don’t forget all the slant rhymes ending in -ust.
