When we react based on emotion and fear, we feed and strengthen the ego in ourselves and others. As an alternative we can become deeply present and observe the ego in action. We can recognize the behavior of the other as stemming from the ego, and we can forgive. We can recognize our own reactions as stemming from the ego's fear of diminishment and death. If need be, we can establish firm boundaries without creating further drama in the relationship.
