Sometimes a conversation may seem like two parallel lines that
do not meet.
I get frustrated when I am not understood and it seems that communication is not taking place.
But if I bother to listen
closely I realize that the other person draws from his/her background, experiences and belief
systems which are different from mine and make his/her response seemingly superficial
or out of context or just plain irrelevant.
Wisdom replaces disappointment when I go past words and look to the heart and there I see what is at the bottom
line.

DeleteIf I say the word's "Black Cat". It means the same to most people, however, in there mind they see something totally different then me. My "black cat" might have green eye's curled up on the couch and they see one with his back raised hissing.... It has the same meaning, but from a different memory. Different association. We must know one another to communicate effectively. Only time allows "good" communication. Be patient. We are all the same, yet different. We are all Unique. To be Wise to this is Priceless. Wisdom is not what we are born with, it is what we learn as we grow. Thank you LIFE!

DeleteVery well said, Gay Lynn...:-)
ReplyDeleteHow perfectly this speaks to me today! Thanks, Ariel!!
ReplyDeleteI'm amazed at how the universe manifests exactly what we need when we need them most. I've been thinking pretty much over the last few days about a situation along what Deepak Chopra said and lo and behold I saw his quote last night. The quote perfectly described what I was thinking about and so I decided to blog about it.
DeleteThanks for your comment Paul!
