None of us can escape an encounter with hostility at some stage in our Iives. Hostility mars relationships. It makes bitter our experiences with acquaintances. In the more intimate relationships, hostility can negatively impact our day-to-day interactions. And .yet, like conflict, it is something that seems to be written into our DNA and the history of the world.

Conflict becomes unproductive when it gives rise to more animosity and hatred.

This will help to overcome hurdles and build positive relationships.
Hostility is not only in the realm ofconcepts. It can percolate to feelings and colour our reactions to outside events. It is a territory of mutual suspicion and mistrust. Yet, it is possible to take a more enlightened view of hostility and conflict. Provided we are not sucked into it, starting us on a memory chain ofbittemess and bad feelings, we can use it to promote peace and tranquility.
We grow in the communities we are born in. As members of one family, we need to overcome hostility together. We will find that in the end, it is the life force within us that overcomes what destroys and divides. If we plant just one seed of love and kindness every day, at the end of our lives we will have created a landscape of unspeakable beauty.
