Hosting Conversations about Questions that Matter
Come out of Plato's Cave
I’m just checking in to see what condition my condition is in.
A fact is an assumption and/or belief that has not been proven false ... at least not yet. The underlying problem to the symptoms that we are being told are the problems is the belief that perception is reality. Reality exists and is for us to discover. Profound knowledge is discovered in the interplay between truth and belief. As long as we keep holding on to the belief that society is the collective sum of it parts rather than a whole that is dynamic and greater than the sum of its parts, we will always be the engineered herd, the many cogs in the few's wheel. We get what we measure and how we measure it. We get what we value and how we valuate it. Each of us make choices to choose or not to choose … to act or not to act. All of us are affected by the intended and unintended consequences of those choices and actions. Life is dynamic because it is perfectly imperfect. Pay attention. Be situational aware. Have the courage, competency, and confidence to respond rather than react. Discover the synergies and be cognizant of and collaborative with the synchronicities, so that you don’t miss the opportunities of serendipity.

I'm curious about the context of your post... do you have a question for others in the group, or are you making a statement or just sharing your thoughts? I'm wondering how to engage.

Hello Amy,
Curiosity is good. Context is important. One can have questions and make statements and share one's thoughts all at the same time while sending and receiving interpretations. While wondering how to engage ... you've engaged in the context of being curious. You've asked a question, made a statement and shared your thoughts all at the same time. Now, I am wondering what you're thinking.
We live in a world of shadows cast by the efficiencies of technology, where we don't first recognize the value of the efficacy of seeing the thoughts, feelings, ideas, and opinions of others as being valuable because they are different. We are quick to categorize the content, establish the rules of engagement, analyze, and interpret literal meanings prematurely without the benefit of allowing ourselves to become aware of our sense of what it means to us, how it makes us feel, what it makes us think about, and why. What does it mean to you? How does it make you feel? What does it make you think about? Why?
