Why? remembering 9-11
on September 9, 2001 I was recovering at home from gall bladder surgery. I was on line and saw a blurb and about an airplane hitting the World Trade Center. I went to the television and followed the terrible act of Terrorism throughout the day. My thoughts then and now are of the ultimate inhuman acts of humanity. The simple truth of terrorism is that it the murder of innocents. Terrorism is the ultimate crime and proves the insanity of humanity. There is not punishment great enough for terrorists and I might add a thought. "The greatest non-terrorist of all time was Gandhi". heaton
why? do people talk so much?
Went to grandson's ball game and this came up again - sorry for repeat, but this bears repeating
Why you?
Well I'm going to tell you what the problem is. Now not all of you, but some of you are talkers. Not ordinary talkers, but extraordinary. Let me explain. Some of you are constantly, now I really mean constantly thinking of something to say. and then you say it and on you go. If you could and you can, you would go on and on all day, my God even all night. Do you know the problem? YOU ARE NOT A LISTENER. You have no clue as to what other people are saying because you are always thinking about what you are going to say next. Now, thankfully there are not that many of you. But you are easily recognizable. and I'm afraid to say there is little hope for you. Are people avoiding you. Do they never answer your phone calls. If so, you are a talker. If so, there is only one way to cure yourself. Actually listen to people. Digest what they have to say. Take an interest in what they have to say. If two talkers met in a forest would anybody listen? the answer is NO. P.S. Really this is not a complaint, but merely an observation. The real why question here is why are some people not listeners?
