There are three principles in a man's being and life, the principle of thought, the principle of speech, and the principle of action. The origin of all conflict between me and my fellow-men is that I do not say what I mean and I don't do what I say.
Martin Buber (1878 - 1965) Jewish Religious Philosopher
David Gurteen's comments: Well I don't agree that this is the origin of all conflict but it is certainly a huge destroyer of trust. And lack of trust leads to misunderstanding which in turn so often leads to conflict. Think about some aspect of your life right now. Are you being totally open and truthful about a situation and are you walking your talk?
Quotations from Martin Buber:  I have to tell it again and again: I have no doctrine. I only point out something. I point out reality, I point out something in reality which has not or too little been seen. I take him who listens to me at his hand and lead him to the window. I push open the window and point outside. I have no doctrine, I carry on a dialogue.Martin Buber, (1878 - 1965) Jewish Religious Philosopher I do not accept any absolute formulas for living. No preconceived code can see ahead to everything that can happen in a man's life. As we live, we grow and our beliefs change. They must change. So I think we should live with this constant discovery. We should be open to this adventure in heightened awareness of living. We should stake our whole existence on our willingness to explore and experience.Martin Buber, (1878 - 1965) Jewish Religious Philosopher He who loves a woman, and brings her life to present realization in his, is able to look in the Thou of her eyes into a beam of the eternal Thou.Martin Buber, (1878 - 1965) Jewish Religious Philosopher All real living is meeting.Martin Buber, (1878 - 1965) Jewish Religious Philosopher There are three principles in a man's being and life, the principle of thought, the principle of speech, and the principle of action.
