We often engage in "conversational editing" when someone is sharing a point of view that we disagree with. Much like a volcano erupts, we feel that "shenpa" surge from our toes which then rises upward through the body much like a thermometer in the summer heat. We often get so moved by this urge that we must let the other person know that what they are saying is not correct. Though engaging in a battle of the egos can be enormously rewarding in that moment, this "ego-fix" is at the expense of our inner peace.
