Force breeds negativity and conflict from "summary" of Power vs. Force by David R. Hawkins, M.D., Ph.D.

The nature of force is such that it tends to generate resistance. Whenever one person tries to impose their will on another, the natural response is often one of defensiveness or opposition. This dynamic creates a power struggle that can escalate into conflict and discord. Instead of promoting harmony and understanding, force fuels negativity and divisiveness. When force is employed, it implies a lack of respect for the autonomy and dignity of others. It disregards their feelings, needs, and perspectives, leading to resentment and animosity. This underlying sense of disrespect can sow the seeds of discord and breed further negativity in relationships and interactions. Furthermore, force is inherently limiting in its effectiveness. While it may produce immediate compliance or obedience, it does not inspire genuine cooperation or collaboration. People may comply out of fear or coercion, but their hearts and minds remain closed off, hindering the possibility of authentic connection and mutual growth. In contrast, power operates from a place of strength, integrity, and understanding. It does not seek to dominate or control but rather to uplift and empower. Power recognizes the inherent worth and dignity of every individual and strives to honor and support their growth and well-being. By harnessing the power of love, compassion, and understanding, we can transcend the limitations of force and cultivate harmonious relationships and communities. Power invites cooperation, creativity, and synergy, leading to positive outcomes and sustainable solutions. It is through the cultivation of power that we can navigate conflicts and challenges with grace and wisdom, fostering peace and harmony in our interactions and endeavors.
