“Conflict cannot survive without your participation”
— Wayne Dyer
Simplified Meaning:
When people argue or fight, it keeps going because both sides are involved. If one person stops arguing or refuses to get angry, the fight can’t continue. Imagine two people playing a game of tug-of-war with a rope. If one person lets go of the rope, the game ends immediately, no matter how hard the other person is pulling. This quote suggests that you have the power to stop conflicts by choosing not to engage in them. In real life, if someone yells at you, instead of yelling back, you can stay calm or walk away, and the argument will lose its energy. By not participating in the conflict, you take away its strength and help bring peace.
