Ego dissolution
The work of eldering is ego dissolution.
:- Doug.
The work of life, particularly eldering, is the dissolution of ego. As we get older, as we become parents, as we become more mature, we see less and less sense in winning arguments, getting our way, controlling things. As I get older and longer into our marriage, I see less sense in being right. It is not that peace is better than war, but that we are all one and it makes no sense to try to win, to make another lose. It does make sense to hear out other points of view, to engage. But it is not me against you, but only growing you, growing me.
:- Doug.
