Relationships
by Chief Joseph and John Cali
Do
you feel the need to always be right? In Chief Joseph's and my work
over the years, we've seen this need as a dark, destructive force in
many relationships.
John Cali
One bright, beautiful spring morning, I was jogging in
the foothills south of my house. I passed a couple of women
walking in the opposite direction. One of them was talking loudly
and I couldn’t help overhearing her.
With enthusiasm and energy, she exclaimed, “I’d rather have a
relationship than be right.”
That’s all I heard. But it wasn’t too hard to imagine what she was
talking about. I thought to myself, “This is a wise young woman!”
Here’s Chief Joseph.
Chief Joseph
Relationships are one of the most powerful tools you have for your
personal and spiritual growth. Like all tools, they are a
“double-edged sword” — they can be used for good or ill.
As John said in his introduction, we have seen the damage
relationships can suffer when one or both sides lose sight of what
really matters in any relationship — be it romantic, business,
family, whatever.
In any relationship, by its very nature, there are going to be at
least two different perspectives. Not one of you is exactly like
another. You all have your own unique perspectives. No two of you
will ever see life in exactly the same way. It’s all about
diversity — and about allowing all others to be different from
you.
Where you often get tangled up in webs of deceit and disaster is
when one or both sides insist they are right and the other is
wrong. You know, it’s that old dreary, familiar refrain — there
are only two ways: my way and the wrong way.
You can see the results of that destructive attitude rippling
across the headlines of your news media every day.
But let’s take this down to a personal level. What’s happening
across your planet today is simply what’s happening. But you
cannot live your lives globally — you can live them only one day,
one moment at a time. And the effects of the choices you make at
that personal level will ripple out and ultimately affect, for
good or ill, all your world.
And so we are asking you today to examine your close personal
relationships. Do you see anything in them you’d like to change?
Is there perhaps a need for you to have greater understanding and
compassion for the other person? That can be challenging when you
don’t agree about something.
In fact, if you agree about everything, then — as someone once
said — one of you is not necessary. You cannot avoid having
differences, diversity. What you can do is be aware of, and
accept, that one of you doesn’t have to be right and the other
wrong.
You’re simply different — and that is as it should be. The
relationship is of far more value than your self-centered need to
be right all the time.
After all, there is no absolute “right.” There is no absolute
“wrong.” There is only the love, the understanding, the compassion
that brought you together in the first place.
Nothing else matters.
