We humans have a weird but a beautiful mechanism called the brain which through its neural network forms the mind that we experience. We have fixed ways of thinking due to the fixed neural pathways that are formed. And to change that needs extra effort and practice (conscious) which goes against the existing pathway. Hence the resistance.
But resistance takes away more energy and wastes time. If we need to grow, then we need to let go of the resistance and learn to live with changes (uncertain) that happen in and around us.
So when a loved one leaves, more than they leaving, what hurts is the unsaid communications we had between us. The promises that were broken leave us incomplete and not wanting to trust again.
Or when the behaviour of your child changes, what bothers more is not the change, but the need for you to change yourself to deal with your child effectively.
So change shows our own insufficiency which we don’t like to see. Until we can’t be at home with our imperfections, we can’t stop resisting. And that delays our growth in life. Choice is yours.

ReplyDeleteTao philosophy resembles the same. That which you offers no resistance overcomes the hardest substance, that which offers no resistance can enter where there is no space.

ReplyDeleteWhen experiencing/ feeling resistances : add new view , some knowlegde, spot out blindspot , share , share share till the resistance changes its way to next level , where u feel it's done.
