Search your mind and report where you got the idea that meat is bad.

[Guest guest]

Let's take a comment such as " Too much meat is bad. "

 

Behind that five word sentence is a sea of idea which

might take a book to describe.

 

I think whenever we think we have understood a

person's comment, we should always remember that words

are a clumsy form of communication.

 

The picture that the speaker is trying to convey might

be very different from the picture the listener is

receiving.

 

If we just remember that and ask for clarification

rather than refusing to listen further, it might lead

to greater understanding.

 

If a person has to walk on eggs (be very careful about

everything they say--not actually walk on eggs)

everytime they open their mouth, you end up with a

society of people afraid to say anything.

 

People's perceptions are just different viewpoints.

It can be very interesting to explore why different

people see things the way they do.
