If This Venn Is A Rockin’

Don’t Come A Knockin’

 

Things overlap in life.  In all sorts of ways.  And not only when it comes to Venn Diagrams and the relationship of things that may or may not intersect.

 

You may have encountered situations where opposing arguments. Perhaps arguments isn’t the right word but more accurately seen as a discussion with different points of views.  

 

While the dialog seems unimportant, the die is cast.   Alea iacta est.  Et tu.  I am not sure exactly where I am going with this but in my mind I think there is something “there”.  Or it’s just another random Tuesday?    Perhaps it’s just that.  Well, it's on the road again. . .

I prefer point of view from simpler times. Remember those days...difference of opinion was just that...a difference. It is sad what it has evolved into.

Hi Michael Jacobs, we all want to express our ideas and feelings and have a civil conversation without offending anyone...is that even possible? 

May 11, 2021 10:39 AM
Michael Jacobs

Beth Atalay - I would think so.

Hello Michael Jacobs we all can have some different opinions. We can disagree on some issues and agree on other issues. Great educational post!

HI Michael wouldn't it be great if the good ole days of agreeing to disagree, peacefully, came back into style.

i know two people that couldn't be much more different on the political spectrum, but if I created a Venn diagram, I know they both LOVE their dogs.  There is overlap as long as we choose to allow ourselves to see it.  Bill

Liz and Bill Spear - some dogs need to dig pretty deep to find that "bone".

I like to play in the cross-section of things quite a lot and this was a fun with t put it

Michael Jacobs

Laura Cerrano - sometimes there is traffic and those that choose not to stop.  Wait...is that the cross-section or a cross-walk?  Hmm. . .

Happy Thursday, Michael! What I love ARE differing opinions but, a civil discussion is far more likely to persuade someone to agree with you than one filled with bitterness & vitriol. 

I remember an older member here who was very out-spoken - always right, never wrong (in her mind). I watched her shred people - for no reason, simply because they didn't agree with her viewpoint. I finally spoke up to her once to ask if we (meaning HER) could have civil discussions here in the Rain. She responded that she was on the debate team when she was in school and she KNOWS how to debate!! I wondered how many inches her nose grew after that comment! 🤪

Joan Cox - a few days off on a mental health break without my laptop made reading/commenting on ActiveRain more than a bit burdensome.  But the diversion was quite nice.  More pondering time. . .
