Hello everyone,
The days of pulling your hair out and wondering “what is going on, why I can't get that and this right?” are almost over. When these energies are on the inside of you nothing will go right… it is the way it is designed. If your father has military energy then your mother will also have it; everything is a mirror. This will only create **attrition** between your inner mother and father… it creates disharmony and lack of communication… in fact this energy doesn't care whether it communicates or not, it just wants what it wants! This energy doesn't give you anything, it just takes. There is no room for softness and gentleness; the energies of softness and gentleness can't survive near the energy of militarism. Even if we say there is a place for this military energy on planet earth, which we can't say, this energy doesn't belong in your family.
Does "attrition" mean conflict here?
Thank you.

Note from asker:
| First of all thank you for your reply, airmailrpl. I understand the definitions, but I fail to understand how attrition can be _between_ 2 people or 2 living entities. Is it used the same way as friction -- definitions 1 and 3? http://www.oxfordadvancedlearnersdictionary.com/dictionary/friction |
| Now I understand, thank you again. |
