Living a genuine life means the people in it want to hear each others' perspective. Think of a rose that's budding. A rose, in order to bloom, needs gentle care from things like fertilizer and warm sunshine. In the same way, without the gentle warmth of a curious interest and the nourishment of the courage to be willing to listen, things left unsaid thwart the process of coming into blossom as individuals. Whatever we resist, however, will persist and get stronger.
Being able to address things as they crop up on the path of life is important. That way, you deal with it, let it go and move on in freedom.Reassuring ourselves that this can happen without fear of either person taking it as blame or judgement is helpful, crucial even.
I can't suppose to know what someone else's thoughts are, just as someone else can't suppose to know mine. I simply have to trust that things will stay in a place that is reasonable, that I'm capable of and safe to address questions in a calm, rational way. When I have questions I don't want to wonder, can I safely address them? It has to be one of the givens for any clear, forward-moving path.
