		<description>that&#039;s a beautiful thing. and i do practice this with friends and those i want to engage positively with. its&#039; a very current theme of mine! i believe it strongly, i often say &quot;what you feed, grows.&quot; 

and that is where the page seems to orient: 

&lt;blockquote&gt;Resistance will throw us out of synchronization in our relationships. When we are nonresistant, our relationships are frictionless. &lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

however, that page only devotes one or two lines to injustice. and when it comes to injustice, i prefer direct and active resistance. i see no way around introducing that resistance, unless i want to be existing calmly and self-centeredly in a world that is grossly unfair and cruel to so many. 

i think much of the info on the page is extremely valuable for remaining centered and not fighting yourself, nor nurturing unneeded agita. and yet...some confrontations definitely require &quot;friction&quot; or unfair/oppressives structures will grow and continue to function.

the writer attempts a way out of this by endorsing a view of the world where it is arrogant to assume to be a &quot;guardian of the morals and the rights of society.&quot; but i disagree. if a person next door to me is being robbed, raped, or otherwise hurt, should i not assume to be &quot;the guardian of the morals and rights of society?&quot; to not do so at that moment would mark me as evil. that is how i see the world.

even with only one word and a link, you&#039;ve brought something valuable to this discussion. i thank you for those things. i think the page and sentiment is definitely worth reading and reading again. and absorbing. and living, in most instances. yet, at this moment in my life, i cannot wholly endorse the overall paradigm.</description>
