I had a conversation this morning with Deidre about spirituality and growth. I was talking about the ego being prominent in many things we do, where the driving force behind our actions is self-gratification. This is a standard thing with most human beings. However, in the process of this discussion, she got defensive and angry and a little upset. We discussed some more and found out that I had pressed a few buttons of hers, that my comments caused a reaction in her because they hit an 'exposed nerve'. I explained it wasn't an attack on her, but was just a discussion, but since she reacted that way, it was obvious that she related to what I was saying, but wasn't happy about it. Further discussion led us to understand that I have a way of pressing her buttons that no one has ever done before. I ask her to think about answers to my questions, instead of giving her my opinions. This is because I believe it's better to realise than to be told. Anyway, the conversation continued further, and I realised something myself.
