The Role of Patience In Resolving Conflict

anger encourages them to speak more, but your silence will eventually force them to remain silent as well. Why is there a difference between these two scenarios? The reason is that when evil is met with evil, a psychological reaction is triggered in the wrongdoer. Satan finds an opportunity to stir their ego. By inflaming their anger, Satan leads them toward the final destructive level. The evil that was dormant inside them is awakened and stands against you. In contrast, when you respond by simply distancing yourself from the evil, a self-reflective psychology is triggered in the other person. An Angel now has an opportunity to awaken their innate goodness, activate their conscience, instill a sense of shame, and encourage them to reform. In the first scenario, the person falls under the influence of Satan, whereas in the second, they are influenced by an Angel. In the first case, the desire for revenge emerges as the other person is labeled a wrongdoer, while in the second case, they reflect on themselves and develop a desire for self-reform. Every person has two hidden powers within them: one is favourable to you, represented by their conscience, and the other is against you, represented by their ego. It is up to you which power you awaken. Through your words and actions, the power you choose to awaken will shape the outcome. If you awaken the ego, the other person becomes your enemy. However, if you awaken the conscience, the person will undergo an inner transformation and become favourable to you.
