the gorilla in the room

1) "Yes, yes, yes." Now would you please just leave me alone. Get it...it's not a question.

2) "Yes, sure, no problem. I hear you." Now would you please just give me what I want. And, once I've gotten it, I don't need to be accountable for what I've said. I might even forget it.

Well, now. This is a new awareness of human behavior. I've seen it and possibly even attracted it in my naivety. I've fought with the outcomes, all along thinking I could have prevented them. And I was so busy doing that, that I couldn't even notice the underlying messages.

Note: Watch. Learn. Listen. Carefully. Be responsible. Take care and exercise a prudent attitude.

Today's conversations with Americans were real and full of examination. Thank you RO, JV, LC and WC.
