Episode 1983: Sara Bensman, with TinyBuddha.com, challenges you to prioritize compassion over the need to be right in conflicts. Using the metaphor of a burn warning from a hot stove, she illustrates how conflicts offer lessons for personal growth. The article delves into the roots of conflict, often tied to ego and the fear of losing self-worth. Bensman proposes a transformative approach, advocating for understanding others' perspectives, relinquishing the need to be right, taking personal responsibility, and accepting what cannot be changed, thus forging a path from conflict to compassion.

"It seems as though our very civilization is built on this tension between winning and loving." "Transcending this desire for rightness requires that we build a pathway out and that we cultivate that pathway, tend it, and keep it free of stumbling blocks."
