About This Quote
The love of conflict is most evident when opposing forces join sides to defeat the peacemaker. - the Dalai Lama The Dalai Lama is one of the world’s best known leaders, and his teachings are studied by every schoolchild in every school in the world. It’s impossible not to see his wisdom in this quote. His words are wise and true, and they apply to everything from the power of alignment, to friendship, to family.
When people are genuinely aligned with each other, they can do things together that they could never do apart. For example, if two friends want to buy a house, they can work together to find the right property. If one friend wants to raise a family, the other friend can support him or her without ever disagreeing about it.
If one friend wants to keep a job but another friend is unemployed, they both have a shared experience of personal hardship that brings them together as friends for life. They might not always agree with each other, but as long as they’re on good terms with each other, their best interests are aligned. Every single thing we do as a family or as friends is a choice that helps us win or lose against the competition or those who go against us.
It helps us either join together or separate from each other and become more powerful on our own, depending on what we choose to do.
