In regards to what Firefox Wiz said about being all talked out....
:hmm:
Conversations only need to be more engaging to be more active...I don't think we've done talked it all through....I think many of us are done talking and choose not to share in fear of offending someone. That's why the conversations are superficial and go nowhere. The entire purpose of a conversation is to share differing opinions to come to a conclusion: Agree to agree - or agree to disagree. It is a mutual exchange with a direct result of realizing that the world is not a clone of my own personal view. People will become offended in conversations, but any idiot can get mad and take his ball home. When that happens, the music dies. The beautiful music of a conversation!
In a symphony there are sharps and flats and majors and minors; yet music agrees with most people - wars are not started over how notes are arranged on a page...the composer created it...when we talk or discuss things we create something too; we create a journey of self awareness and learn to respect that the music's flat notes give essence and depth. Let's not be afraid to say more than hello. I'll go first:
I believe in the mutual respect of every person. That that respect is to be offered not earned; even if it should be betrayed, the harm comes only when it disappears completely...
