Open for Discussion
What would happen if we spoke what we really felt, you know spoke the truth. Would that help brake down some walls, dismantle misconceptions, turn feelings, fears and upside down thought processes right side up?OR would it just relieve the pressure off one set of shoulders and place it on another with nowhere to go afterwards? When you're the person with layers of pent up feelings the more you suck down your emotional turmoil and try to be balanced and fair and open the furthe away from being truthful about what ever it is that's bothering you. We always assume the other person or people won't be able to understand or care about what we need to get off our chest. We even over assume that being upfront with them in a mindfull way of coarse will put them on the defensive and they would find a loop hole and lay into us everything that's been on their mind concerning us. The object is to releive some of the pressure from our shoulders not to tack on more.
We all see ourselves as being down to earth and open and nice and everybody else around us causes conflict and strife because we feel they don't think and act like us. each of us feel that we are good listeners and think that we cornered the market in compassion. The art of listening and hearing gets to be more of a passing the blame about rather than trying to comphrehend what's being said. Sometimes a simple conversation between two people ends up and shouting match because each is trying to be right and lord it over the other person. It doesn't have to be a right or wrong or end up in bruised feelings but being honest with someone shouldn't evoke fear and sadly enough that's usually what happens when we try to be honest with people we love.
