Is Wrong a Feeling?
I'd like to make a distinction between thoughts and feelings. I was just having one of those philosophical and heated arguments with someone.
It has long been a practice for me to state the behavior followed by the experience I get from it; i.e. "When X happens I feel ..." I have been working with this principle for some time now. I got it from the book: "Non-violent communication" I really DO try and communicate that way.
And even though I recognize that others do not have the same love for communication techniques as I do, it still drives me crazy that the average person takes it personal or think what I have shared "also must mean" that they are wrong. One might say, "I feel like your saying I am wrong" to which I reply, wrong is not how you FEEL. It is what you have decided it must mean about you.
Maybe one day there will come a time when our automatic response to people addresses the originating statement. It's kind of like when you program a website. You have tags. They have a syntax that they must follow, you open a tag; like this: <p> and you close a tag; like this: </p> Your <p> tag stays open if you try and close it with something like <b>. This makes no sense to you at all if you haven't looked at source code.
It would be interesting if we could think of communication like a clean piece of html code. Open the communication with a feeling, close the feeling by addressing it. Open the communication with a thought, close the thought by addressing the thought. Don't just leave it all messy.
Well, this was just some random thoughts I was having while taking a little break from, guess what, redesigning my website. LOL!
