Truce is Not Peace…
A Course In Miracles says, Mistake not truce for peace, nor compromise for the escape from conflict. (ACIM, T-23.III.6:1)
Truce is compromising. It’s stating that something happened yet it didn’t. This isn’t to invalidate ones experience as much as it is to see how involved the ego has been and the mind in telling stories without listening and seeing the other clearly.
The only way we can be at peace is by recognizing and understanding why “the attack” was created in the first place.
You can stand up for yourself without fighting. You can have a conversation without conflict. You can be different without being separate.
