DO YOU WANT PEACE OR DRAMA?

From Eckhart Tolle's A New Earth, page 77 "Do you want Peace or Drama?"

"You want peace. There is no one who does not want peace. Yet there is something else in you that wants the drama, wants the conflict. You may not be able to feel it at this moment. You might have to wait for a situation or even just a thought that triggers a reaction in you: someone accusing you of this or that, not acknowledging you, encrouching on your terratory, questioning the way you do things, an argument about money. . . . Can you then feel the enormous surge of force moving through you? Can you hear your own voice becoming harsh or shrill, or louder and few octaves lower? Can you be aware of your mind racing to defend its position, justify, attack, blame? In other words, can you awaken at that moment of unconsciousness? Can you feel that there is something in you that is at war, something that feels threatened and wants to survive at all cost, that needs the drama in order to assert its identity as the victorious character within that theatrical production? Can you feel there is something in you that would rather be right than at peace?"
