Communication


I once attended a communications workshop in which the presenter insisted that true communication demands that all participants be willing to change. I resisted the notion, because I know that I am always right. Like Sheldon Cooper, I never argue. I merely explain why I am right. You are the one who must change.

I realize this is foolishness on my part, but I also recognize that sometimes I avoid engaging in conversations with people with whom I disagree strongly. I say it is to avoid becoming angry.  Perhaps, though, I am reluctant to discover they may have something to teach me that I do not want to hear.

No perhaps about it, really. I need to grow up!
