Shift happens. A shift in thinking can be very refreshing when you make the effort to understand others points of view, but when you feel criticized another view is being forced upon you like being forced to swallowing bad medicine. Noone likes it. I spent my life understanding others from their perspectives and now that I am getting grey hair I don't understand others who are not willing to see things differently. More specifically, when they won't take the time to understand what I am saying beyond the first sentence or phrase nothing is communicated.
Today, I have fallen into the trap, a deep pit that isolates me from others. I feel less and less loved, appreciated, understood and more alone, though I am surrounded by those I spend my life serving.
Because I care I desire to keep speaking, I only hope to be able to see the trap coming next time, and show enough love that what I say is valued.
