Why I choose this. I have read the
following mentioned text in Social Media:
It was written in German language as:
Streit, Kampf, Konsequenz, Menschlichkeit, Reflexion, Vergebung, Freundschaft.
Found English Translation as: dispute,
fight, consequence, humanity, reflection, forgiveness, friendship. Such a beautiful
stage.
This was under the video showing a man
arguing with an older person, got irate, then get into a fight and puts the
older person down, realises the consequences he has to go through, his humane
side pops up, he could realise his mistake and thought he would have handled it
better, picks the gentleman up and asks for forgiveness and gets it with an
offer of friendship.
I found this very interesting how we go
through these stages quite often.
To understand the emotional and
psychological dynamics of humans, it’s helpful to break down each state of mind
involved in common experiences such as disputes, fights, consequences,
humanity, reflection, forgiveness, and friendship. Each stage represents a
unique emotional state or mindset, influencing how individuals interact with
one another. Here’s an analysis of each:
1. Dispute
A dispute
typically arises when two or more people have conflicting views, interests, or
feelings. It is the initial emotional and intellectual reaction to a perceived
threat to one’s beliefs, desires, or needs. People tend to protect their point
of view and become defensive about their position, fearing that giving ground
may be seen as weakness. Slowly this generates frustration, and frustration
leads to anger and that is where our mindfulness shuts shop.
2. Fight
A fight is an escalation of a dispute,
where emotions become heightened and more intense. Unlike a simple
disagreement, a fight can often involve harsh words, raised voices, or even
physical confrontation. The state of mind when loses control, empathy is the
last thing that comes to the mind.
3. Consequence
The consequence is the one that follows
long hours of thought or at times in short time, after heated emotions have
subsided. People would usually regret and get sad thinking about what they have
done and the possible fear of the consequences. This motivates them to
corrective measures.
4. Humanity
Humanity refers to the understanding and
acknowledgment of the action/consequence. When weigh through the lens of
humanity, they develop concern, desire for corrective measures, acceptance of
the mistake. This is the best stage where every human should be in. This will
avoid most of the differences and keeps you still emotionally.
5. Reflection
Reflection is the emotional process of
thinking judgementally about the conflict, one’s role in it, and the involved implications.
It involves looking inward, introspect, understanding from the others perspective,
regret and accept as to what happened. Reflection is key for growth after a
dispute or fight. It transforms negative experiences into opportunities for
self-improvement and better our relationships.
6. Forgiveness
Forgiveness is the process of letting go of
bitterness, anger, and the desire for payback attitude. Forgiveness includes
giving up of negative emotions, heal oneself, be compassionate, restore trust. The
process of forgiveness helps mend broken relationships and promotes emotional
well-being. It can be difficult but is ultimately a freeing and transformative
state of mind.
7. Friendship
Friendship represents the state of
emotional closeness and mutual respect that exists when people move past
disputes, conflicts, and misunderstandings. The state of mind in friendship is Trust,
understanding attitude, Respect and Reciprocate.
Conclusion
Each state of mind—dispute, fight,
consequence, humanity, reflection, forgiveness, and friendship—represents a
distinct phase in the emotional process of managing relationships. They form a
cycle through which every individual goes through and subsequently grow, learn,
and ultimately strengthen their connections with others. Understanding each of
these states allows for more effective communication, conflict resolution, and
emotional flexibility in relationships.
