Quote by Frederick Salomon Perls

Have a dialogue between the two opposing parts and you will find that they always start out fighting each other until we come to an appreciation of difference, ... a oneness and integration of the two opposing forces. Then the civil war is finished, and your energies are ready for your struggle with the world.

Have a dialogue between the two opposing parts and you will

Summary

This quote emphasizes the importance of engaging in dialogue and introspection to resolve conflicts within ourselves. The "two opposing parts" symbolize conflicting desires or thoughts within an individual. Initially, these parts may fight against each other. However, through understanding and accepting their differences, they can integrate and achieve harmony. Thus, the internal "civil war" ends, enabling one to focus their energy on tackling external challenges. This quote suggests that self-awareness and self-acceptance are necessary steps towards cultivating inner peace and readiness to confront the world's obstacles.
