This morning I was having a breakfast with my friend. My dining table is set next to the three glass windows. While eating, the scenery of outside naturally came into my vision.
The man who lives across our house was with his neighbor. It was a pretty common scenery for me because they are best buddies visiting each other every day.
However today was different from usual.
All of a sudden, the two men started arguing in their loud voice. Their quarrel developed into a scuffle. One man was pushed down to the ground, and the other man sat astride of the man, punching his face.
My friend and I were astonished by the scenery. I had not seen any actual fighting by adult men for a long time.
I didn’t know what the cause for them to have a punching fight was. I didn’t want to go out and get involved in their fight. I shut the window blind so that I didn’t need to see them fighting.
After 10 minutes or so, they stopped cussing each other. It got back to quiet.
When I opened the window blind, both men were gone. Probably they went back to their own house.
I got relieved.
But on next moment, I was astonished again with other scenery.
There were two birds fighting in front of our house. They kept violently hitting each other by their bodies.
***
I thought to myself.
It’s got to be a message for me by witnessing these two fights in such a short time.
I got an inspiration right away sent from my family spirits.
These two different fights made me realize of my anger toward my friend. I had been irritated by her for these days. Because I didn’t want to argue with her, I did my best on not argue with her. Every time I had an anger feeling to her, I swallowed my emotion.
I interpreted like this.
To me, witnessing these two fights is reflecting my inner feeling. It worked as a mirror. I needed to admit my anger, instead of swallowing it all the time.
I think it was teaching me to find an alternative way to discuss about my feeling to her peacefully, not by a fist fight.
