Learning

I still am...every day brings something. Never think your are done...'cause you're not.

Words...they mean so much and can be so positive and at the same time so destructive. We each need to say what is right for us, sometimes it is hard to hear what another has to say, but it be important that we each listen to one another. We do not have to always agree, but listening is something we should strive for.

The tough part is remembering to listen with an open mind and not a critical one. To take what is said from another perspective. To learn how to comprehend all that is spoken without judging it from one side. To evaluate it fairly and open mindedly.

Now once that be done we have accomplished a lot, however remember when on the other side...ie the talker one must be ready for it. One does not have a right to FORCE a discussion and to only play it off on to ones own time frame is selfish and a bad start. How can there be an open discussion if only one person actually wants the discussion? Hence tainted from the beginning.

Learn the rules, it be important. Each situation can be different, but respect for one another's space is imperative. The answers for relationships are out there, sometimes they just be buried deep. The differences may be to large to overcome, but the effort counts for a lot.

Do the best you can with the knowledge you have. Listen and learn.

Good luck and Peace.
