This is often a helpful filter in determining our "path toward peace". Is the thought or activity being presented or considered going to bring nourishment or depletion? 

(Respect) Self         (Respect) Other

  -                              +           Passive

  +                             -            Aggressive

  +                             +           Assertive *

This is a filter through which to pass our conscious responses and behavior; respecting ourselves and the other (versus disregarding ourselves and honoring only the other, or passive response; not the path toward peace...) 

When a decision is being experienced as challenging, often thoughts may further cloud the picture. Imagine making one of the choices and just sit with it and feel it, versus thinking about it. Then "make" the other decision and feel that one. This can often instantly assist with clarification.
