Interesting discussion, with a lot of nuance. In regard to the dichotomy of ascending descending metaphors. It seems to me a different metaphor might close the gap. I believe my lived experience is undifferentiated from my environment. I find if I seek an internal point of calm or authentic self, it is in direct conflict with being in the moment - it’s internalizing change in absence of the mitigator. If I were to use a metaphor, I would compare it to the ocean. The ocean represents the vast idiosyncratic nature of truth in our environment. And like a boat on the ocean, we rise and fall on waves of experience. I feel it’s our openness to the vagarious nature of truth that keeps us buoyant, allowing us to navigate our sense of self in an ocean of change. I also believe active listening requires open eyes. We communicate so much about ourselves through our actions and micro expressions (which are often out of sync with carefully formulated statements) - to close ones eyes is to internalize the speaker’s words. This post brought to you by procrastination - back to the task at hand. :-)
I disagree that people want to be held accountable for the wrongs they've committed. Certainly NOT my experience with "family" members. Loved your conversation tho! ❤
