Dynamic harmlessness

The dynamic doesn’t have to be mischievous, but simply be the confident assurance of a person with a strong case which doesn’t need to be overstated. But whether full-on wicked or something underplayed, our arguments almost inevitably stir the juices. As long as our dynamic side is founded on non-violence, we are safe, because it will be acting as a moment-by-moment checking system, making sure we stay constructive and non-judgemental, and preventing us from dipping into warfare at the first sign of hostile reaction from others. Our communications need to keep up a dynamic pulse that generates interest in the subject we want to talk about.
If there is real interest in what we have to say, we’re in luck! It’s like having an invitation to say what we want to say, to speak freely and let things rise to the surface naturally. That’s only possible, however, if we are given the invitation. Gate crashers beware!
