Listen-In
Did you listen to the President’s State of the Union Address? I listened to both sides and their comments. Remember the sit-in’s they used to have? I wish we could have listen-in’s.
Because each side is expert at their particular areas. Brilliant. Genius! Unfortunately each side is preaching to their own respective choir.
Rarely does either side look at what is right, useful, or practical with the other’s side’s viewpoint. But that’s exactly where the answers are. In that ethereal space between the extremes. The grey area. The mixture of black and white, where anything goes.
We can’t see it because we don’t look for it. We don’t know how to look for it. Maybe we’re scared of what we may find. Or scared that we may have been wrong all along.
As long as neither side is willing to listen to the other–really listen–no one will access this realm of solutions.
Humor requires that we enter and enjoy this unknown territory. This territory where we can sift and sort from many different options and create solid solutions.
What side are you on? Are you sure of that?
