“Receptivity without confrontation leads to a bland neutrality that serves nobody. Confrontation without receptivity leads to an oppressive aggression which hurts everybody.”

I see the quote: “Receptivity without confrontation leads to a bland neutrality that serves nobody. Confrontation without receptivity leads to an oppressive aggression which hurts everybody.” attributed to Heni Nouwen. See, for example: https://outerhoard.wordpress.com/2006/11/26/quoting-from-nouwen/ It will be good to add that quote to this article. Lbeaumont (talk) 13:18, 25 February 2024 (UTC)Reply
