For heaven sakes!!
How can we upbraid others for not communicating their innermost thoughts, wishes and feelings with clarity when deeper truth suggests that the interwoven nature of subconscious thoughts and emotions, flashing through our minds with the speed light, proves so tumultuous, confounding and complex as to mystify oneself?
Just as one insight sparks the next
That question leads me to ask ...
If we don't seek insight into why
We feel what we feel
And think what we think
And say what we say
Won't we condemn our conscious minds to
Remain blind to the respectful ways that
Some choose to brainstorm, together, until
Clarity of thought resolves conflicts, all around?
Isn't it time for kettles and pots, who lead
Families, political parties and nations
Ever more deeply into mazes where confusion reigns supreme
To stop calling each other blackguards in favor of
Brainstorming toward reconciliation in ways that
Prove mutually supportive once
Defensive and offensive reactions calm down?
Since life proves short for one and all, isn't it high time to figure out how to
Resolve conflicts, which exacerbate defensive reactiveness, by
Inspiring adults to empower their minds with logical problem-solving skills?
And since a child's mind proves eager, nimble and so flexible as to
Freely embrace innovative ideas that actually make sense
Doesn't common sense suggest that the mind's absorption of
Communication skills, beginning in kindergarten
Proves as important to human welfare as
Learning reading, writing and arithmetic?
(As to school boards dismissing the importance of
The study of art and music ...
Where would humanity be without tapping into creativity?)
Simply said:
What good is history if leadership blindly repeats the worst of it?
Who said this ... Yoda or Socrates?
1. Train yourself to let go of everything you fear to lose
2. You must unlearn what you have learned
3. In a dark place we find ourselves, and a little more knowledge lights our way
PS
A word to the wise:
With Yoda whispering into one ear while
Socrates whispered into the other
This should come as no surprise:
