Distinctive Differences

What difference can you feel, if any, between confrontation and engagement? Between nonviolent communication and WinnerTakeAll debate, or wrestling, for that win/lose matted matter? InBetween cooperative compassion, dissociative persuasion, competitive dispassion? Between LoseLose despair, win/lose anxiety, win/win anticipation? InBetween Mono- Bi- Poly-Cultural world views? Between liberation and conservation? Between dialectical discernment dialogue and oppositional competitive privileged position? InBetween invoking cooperative compassion therapy and provoking traumatic face-saving oppression? Between taking a deep listening solidarity stand and giving your autonomous position statement? About differences you may feel, between divisive confrontation and inclusive engagement.
