Personally I seek to take this a step further and reach some kind of meditating monk state while still being firm. Stress on "seek". I do not pretend to have achieved this.
I continue to push offline. as well as online.
Such is a difficult concept to explain but I am getting nearer to the mark.
Maybe I split hairs too much here, but to me a finer point is that "pushing" itself is not perfect. Effortless action is my ideal. Whenever you push, you create some resistance.
I have been talking to people on the street. So easy to fall into old pattern of "quarrel" instead of being calm and letting things unfold and so on. And there is a simple reason.
Basically it takes much more skill to not come out as a fool when you have to be kind/respectful to opposition, even if he is not to you. So much so that a pattern is drilled into us.
I used the wrong word "push".
What I mean is pushing to find key points of leverage to revise the conversation from
obey/disobey into more of a "we have a better way coming".
Oh, I suppose you can disregard my other comment about "pushing" then. :)
