Having resistance to things that we can do nothing about is futile. Not looking at things with expectations that things will get better or there is a cure for something is a gift we can give ourselves. Accept what is and look for the positive aspects of your situation.
Look within, beyond the physical body, you have the faculties to do so. Focus your mind away from sensual input and you will discover a new mode of perception. Searching in this way, you will begin to understand and all your doubts will cease.
If you want to reach a state of knowing, you cannot do this by solely striving for it to benefit yourself. This state of knowing can only be achieved by practicing undiscriminating virtue and service, this way the ultimate subtle truths and inner knowing will follow.
If contention is not resolved properly it could lead to the use of force, using force is evil and should be approached with the utmost caution. There are only two kinds of force that can be justified, overthrowing a tyrant and protecting a country from invasion.
Quote: When there is opposition remain empty and open, clear, and calm; and then it disappears.
