If this speaks to you, please share and please follow.🙏Peacekeeping (what we often try to do to maintain comfort for others at the expense of our own sanity) is not peacebuilding.Peacebuilding, imo, is not an open floor plan where everyone roams willy-nilly into our space and hearts and needs and many vulnerabilities. Peacebuilding does not promote wanton abuse. For our personal safety and sanity, we might sometimes need to close doors, or even build metaphorical walls. ❤️I’ve learned this the hard way.Sometimes, yes, restraint and questions and silence and giving everyone the benefit of the doubt—all of that great expert advice — are good and right and applicable.And sometimes, when there’s a history of abuse, repeated bullying, demeaning language about you or others, or boundary-bashing— that’s when you are wise to step away.Warn the other party that they are treading on your boundary.And now— NOW—they’ve crossed it.E.Nough.✋🏽And if those two syllables are somehow incomprehensible to your conversation partner, you remove yourself. 🌟May I get personal? 🌟Late one a December night, in one especially tense and boundary-assaulting moment with a member of my extended circle, a person who had historically caused damage to my family members as well as to me, I packed my bag in record time and walked out into the ice cold street. I kept walking.And waking. And found another place to regain my sense of balance and integrity.And I have since — lovingly and with sincere concern for their welfare and joy — removed that person from my life.It took decades of forgiving and second chances and drawing them close again only to get the same hateful treatment in return. I had to accept what was not gonna change. Whew. That was a big step for a person like myself who is, as a friend once described me, “the incarnation of Switzerland.”He meant conflict averse, I think. Not quadralingual. 😂🌟We need not subject ourselves to abuse, cruelty or betrayal in the name of “being charitable.”Love all your soul can! Yes!And if needed, at great distance. ❤️🙏🌟Amen? Amen.🫶🏼#communication #boundaries #unity #relationships #interpersonalskills
