More and more, I think this is true. We need to be in relationship in this world with others and the world we live in.
Ivon, I was far more inclined to give advice when I was younger. Now, I give it only when asked. And sometimes then only suggestions for a person’s own self exploration.
Very good point. That’s what I like about blogosphere – expressing my thoughts and feelings while also keeping my heart and mind open to other bloggers’ feelings and perspectives. Thanks for visiting my blog, Charron 🙂
It’s hard when you tell someone your problem, and they immediately launch into the seventeen different ways that you can fix your problem. It’s like … yes, I already thought of all those, thank you. I’m not telling you because I want a solution — I’m telling you because I’m reaching out to another human being for emotional support, and you’re completely missing the point. But God forbid you tell them that!

Very good point, Ivon. Sometimes silence in communication ‘speaks’ better than words.
It certainly can; nice thought.
