[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 695025, member: 18958"] I was reading about non violent communication. The originator of it, Marshall Rosenberg died last year. He was a psychologist. I was looking up books on anger and found his work. He set up centers all over the work to teach people who were actually in wars with each other to communicate and stop fighting. They started out despising each other and wanting each other to die. They called each other murderers. They had killed each others' children. When he taught them this system of communication they could lay down arms and work and talk to each other. His approach was first to see that everybody has their own story in which we are invested 100 percent. And if we we try to communicate each of us based upon our own story, with all of its hurts and biases and history--we will all fight--because each of us look at things in a highly self-interested way. His approach was based upon language, not on stories. Why not look at amazon.com and see if any of us books interest you. Even if you were not interested in his approach you would see that the world is full of people who lay down their arms, and they do not die if they do. I can think of worse things. That your child die, or you, or your grandchild before you reach out and try. Had I not made a kind of peace with my mother before she died, I surely would not have survived her death. I would not have wanted to. That I know with all my heart. [/QUOTE]
