Look On The Bright Side

Just a note here on insight and awareness followed by the inevitable attitude adjustment.

Seeing an event or person through their eyes and attempting to understand begins insight and awareness.  Once seen; once understood; once aware; the viewer becomes subject to one more life changing event.

The viewer must at this point make a decision just how much he/she is willing to adjust to the new attitude.

This is the bottom line of every peace treaty, every court settlement, every barter deal,  every job or neighborhood disagreement, and every contract containing overlooked stipulations and unwritten hidden clauses.

These are situations that create and sustain mayhem in the human agenda.

I have written before and now again; ‘come let us reason together’ is a crippled sentence at a broken peace table.

Going over your own internal rebuttle while the other is still presenting his/her case is your way of not listening.

Mostly, human beings do not listen.  We humans talk a lot about any subject that comes up.  But we do not truly listen.  We do not come to a place where we painfully seek to understand the other’s treatise.

Think about this and try to put in place some purposeful listening techniques.  The big one is simply look at the person talking and command your own internal presence to hear, see and feel what is being said.

This is a beginning.  There are more techniques, but purposeful listening is the big one.  Good Luck !!!

How do I know this?  I am married: the oldest partnership on the planet.
