Actually, it is more than just a doorway. Confrontation is a gift that has been given to us since the beginning of time. The purpose of confrontation is to set us free. Whether we like it or not, confrontations and challenges occur in life. Instead, there seems to be a unanimous consensus that confrontation should be avoided at all costs.
People seem to experience a greater sense of self through experiencing life's confrontations.
This intriguing paradox between the discomfort of confrontations and the gifts they bring us has always been the dance between the ego and the human spirit. In an attempt to answer these questions, we must first examine who or what part of us is doing the asking. We want more money, a more fulfilling relationship, a better job, more growth and transformation, and less problems or confrontational situations. In other words, if we secure the things we think will bring us joy, there will obviously be less pain. Ironically, though, I notice many people suffering along the path.
