Emotionally True
A L O H A !

"You're only as young as
the last time you
changed your mind. "
Timothy Leary
Alan's Hale [Hawiian: Hah-Lay = 'House']
“On the other hand, the
emotional record was not
like a history book;
its truths were constantly
changing, and true even
when incompatible.”
Julian Barnes
"It is not necessary to
deny another's reality
in order to
affirm your own."

It can be very useful
to realize that something
can be deeply, meaningfully,
true to another person,
even though the FACTS
as you see them
seem to contradict their
deep conviction.
We tend to make an idol
of our interpretation,
upon which we are too
ready to sacrifice our
kindness and patience.
Not to mention,
another person.
Comprehending the kernels
of concern and truth
important to a 'wrong' person
is the more productive,
the wiser, kinder way.
I would rather make friends
than win arguments.
I want to thrive in an
atmosphere of mutual respect
where we listen to one another,
and not just so we can fight,
convince, or win.
We will thrive together
as family, or perish
as tribes of fools.
Thank YOU
Friend!
Warmly, cloudia
