I’m reposting this incredible depiction of why relationships are broken by @ram_iyanger.
We have an animal soul and a G-dly soul that are in a constant battle to control the mind. Sadly when we fight with someone the animal soul takes control. Our ego is the one that gets us angry and makes us feel all these nasty emotions. If we are able to connect to the G-dly in us then all these nastiness would disappear in a puff. If you want to know who is running your life pay attention to this. If the “I” is in front of your thought or action then it’s the animal in you, which runs by instinct behavior. If “the other” is in front, then it’s your G-dly soul that is in control, which only wants to do the will of G-d and what is right.
