Marshall B. Rosenberg Quotes About Jackals
-
Most of us live in a Jackal world where we take turns using the other person as a waste basket for our words.

Fix-it jackals can't wait to fix it, because they don't know how to enjoy pain. And until you learn how to enjoy pain, you can't enjoy intimacy.
→ -
Never hear what a jackal-speaking person thinks, especially what they think about you.
→ -
Any time you throw pain at a Jackal without a clear present request, within a millisecond he'll jump in.
→ -
If you are a jackal, you will try to reassure. Jackals try to fix people in pain. They can't stand pain, but make matters worse by trying to get rid of it. Put on giraffe ears. Try to hear what they are feeling and needing.
→ -
As soon as you say, "are you feeling X because I ..." Then the Jackal starts to salivate because he can educate the person that he's the cause of his pain.
→ -
When you are in a jackal environment, never give them the power to submit or rebel. We want to teach this to children very early: Never lose track that you are always free to choose. Don't allow institutions to determine what you do.
