Appreciation

If I try to force something or someone, even if it is just slightly or even just with a thought, I find that people and things react to this with a kind of stubbornness and with a contrary negative effect. Through this it becomes clear to me once again that positive effects are only manifested through admiration and appreciation and not through a will to overpower or transform. When I see things and people with appreciation, as what they can do and what they could ultimately be that the flow becomes even, it becomes more balanced. This is however extremely hard to do when confronted with the negative and closed off aspects of self and that of others, a result of ignorance and fear.
