It's adult people and what is in them. Billions of people no two are alike but similar and all are in different places, times, understandings with their own beliefs traveling in a place no one has visited before and trying to figure out navigation as we all go. Go where? Through life!
WHO'S THERE?
Why then are we continually amazed, shocked, stunned and thrown off when we meet with each other and find out what is inside folks is not what we were expecting? What is the factor at work here? Is it because we are trying to best each other to get ahead? Or we don't want to be taken advantaged of?
TRUST
This takes us to a very important word and want by all humans. TRUST. To have it from another makes it priceless and to have it fail is devastating to all involved. I met someone the other day that had taken so many "trust" failing beatings that they didn't want to trust anymore..Why sez I?
IT HURTS!
Because I am tired of the hurt, pain and the let-down. But, I sez, remember the rewards, the pay-off and the value from having and receiving it as well as giving it? So many more people are out there that can be trusted. We owe it to them and ourselves to search for each other and meet up while we can
HEREIN LIES THE WILD CARD CORE
Navigating through the different personalities is the most challenging journey to begin, stay-on and learn about that one will ever come across while going through this life-time. Both the pain and the pleasures of life are hidden in people. What comes out or to expect when engaging someone is the wild the card of life!
FREE-FLOW
Many ways to approach the subject of meeting and greeting. It can be done at arms length, structured and with caution or it can be free-flowing, open and intimacy bound. What determines the dynamics? Our beliefs are at the core of it all. Thinking and bringing past experiences into the moment interferes
CAUSE & EFFECT
Where we fail more often than not is we are quick to judge when we hear or see something that is not in line with our beliefs. That causes a reaction which triggers the emotions and from there, it can get wild fast. While the one reacting and judging is at work, the other fellow is reacting to the reacting.
HEY KID!
Can we come & go without all the drama? Sure but it is hard when the fuel for the system is emotionally based. Reasoning, patience and good motives will deliver all circumstances into our hands if allowed. There is an easier way however. We all did it way back when. It was being a child that made it work
INNOCENCE
Remember? There were kids and there was you and a ball, stick of gum, cookie, silly song, smile, ice cream or friendly gesture that made it all work. It was driven by innocence a pure as snow and it is only when we got older that we complicated it. The system was doing fine until we refined it
HELLO LITTLE ONE
Lately, I have had 3-5 year old kids smile at me, waive and even say hello making my inner kid leap out with a return similar gesture. No need to know anymore than that. I always like to ask questions to kids this age because they are so in tune with pure life. Most love to nod, some get excited and all smile
GOT KID?
There are no wild cards of life when meeting with children...They are all the same. Its the adults and what they have learned or not that we never know what to expect until we get there. Let's get there! Unless we do become like little children....we may be missing out on quite a bit!
