Watch Out for the Zealots!
Manage episode 407679117 series 24225
Speaker: Jeff Jarvis
Cathy and I have been married for over 33 years. You would think by now that we would never argue. Lol.
There seems to be this subconscious moment, in the midst of our arguments, when I begin to imagine what it will feel like when I “win” the argument. When I hit that sweet spot and prove my point. Do you do this?
I think to myself, “Maybe, Cathy will admit that she was wrong and I was right all along – perhaps she’ll thank me for pointing out what she did and ask me to forgive her”.
This kind of hopeful thinking seems almost instinctual it’s so common. Not only is history loaded with examples of it, if you look at many of the conflicts taking place in our world right now, you can see it. People engaging in wars believing that if they can just get the win – peace lies on the other side. But does it work?
This Sunday we begin a new series that will explore the complexity of human conflict and what it takes to truly bring peace. From global wars to the conflict within our homes and everything in between.
Invite a friend and join us for a compelling 6-week conversation beginning this Sunday that is designed to bring peace.
