The exact change
"Between stimulus and response there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and our freedom." Viktor Frankl [...] "In conflict, be fair and generous. The person across the table is not the enemy. The problem is the enemy, and you are on the same side against it." Thich Nhat Hanh
As the idea is often summarized (commonly but likely incorrectly attributed to Viktor Frankl), between stimulus and response there is a space, and in that space lies the power to choose our response. [...] As Thich Nhat Hanh teaches, in conflict the person across the table is often not the true enemy; the problem itself is, and both sides can work against it together.
Why this is better
Widely documented misattribution: the "between stimulus and response there is a space" quote is commonly but incorrectly attributed to Viktor Frankl. According to the Viktor Frankl Institute, the pass; Fabricated verbatim quote attributed to Thich Nhat Hanh; the exact wording does not appear in his published works, including How to Fight, though it paraphrases his real themes about conflict.
