Communication, Is it the ability to express an idea or to hear one? Is it best to keep ones mouth shut and ears open or open your mouth and just block out what you hear?
Sometimes, both? Hear no evil, see no evil, speak no evil.....
When your head in the sand, then your ass is in the air.... Very tempting to kick by the way..... A diversion true but still tempting...
They say "shallow brooks are noisy", "still waters run deep" and "one should not live in glass houses". I understand the glass house thing... No insulation and in the Montana Mountains, you need insulation. As for brooks and deep waters, well I suppose a little spring rain might just change those two a whole bit....
So, none of it really makes much sense...
With the advent of "smart phones" came "stupid people". Guess you can't have one without the other... It is balance and in its own way, "fair"... According to our Government, things have to be "fair" now days... Haven't you heard? I think I would rather have "smart people" and a few "dumb phones". And don't get me started on the Government.
I really don't need a "phone" to look things up for me, to remind me when I'm late or wake me up in the morning... I had a mother and have a wife. Why do I need a "smart phone"? Ok, you are right, smart phones don't cook, wash or iron either...
For that matter... No, I had better not go there..... "Smart" ? Well, I'm not a phone..
I am told that men came into their own with "smart phones". What does that mean?... That we are... Now, I get it....... Nice try ... But then, you might have something there....
We, the male species, are not much for communication. For the most part, we would rather do something than talk about it... Act rather than listen and turn a deaf ear rather than figure out a tirade of feelings about what we are doing wrong...
You, the female gender, talk about something that bothers you. We want to fix it.... You complain about the service in a certain store and we wonder why you keep going back... We see you with your head in the sand and your butt in the air, well, we.... You get the idea, we don't really wonder "why" your head is in the sand.... We figure you put it there for a reason....
As for the Government, well "for and by the people" does not seem too mean much anymore...
"Working" for what you get and "deserving" what you "got" seems to have no place in a society hell bent for trading freedom for safety and a rule book of laws for common sense and courtesy... It is sort of like, no matter where you go there you are and it really does not matter how you got there.
Only, what are you going to do now? Wait for fairness, complain about inequality or do something to communicate your stance, then do something to mitigate your position ... You can stand with your head the sand or position yourself in a cranial rectal invasion... The view is all the same...
I hate to tell you, it matters little...
"Smart phone" or not... Communication of an idea is non existent at home or the country. It takes a collaborative effort, not a polarized view and adversarial stance... And I am not sure how much "true grit" we have anymore...
It takes "Grit" to develop an idea and take a stance... It takes "Grit" to express an idea and work through to a collaborative agreement... It takes "True Grit" to not compromise but work through to an ending, truly agreeable and workable to both sides..
It takes a stance.. It takes communication... It takes Grit. Wow, back to that word again... But I ask you, when has stance, communication and grit become dirty words...
When one compromises ones value, is that good? Compromise does not mean coming together in collaborative agreement... Communication does not mean letting someone over run you with ideology that undermines your core values... Communication does not mean you can't speak your piece and to collaborate one does not have to compromise ones values or position...
One does not have to give away basic rights and fought for freedoms. One does have to stand. Stand for what you believe. Stand for where you have come. Stand for where you are going... Maybe, making a "stand" is the first part in good communication..
Remember, if you don't know where you are going, any road will take you there and if you don't know where you are, someone will take you by the nose and place you where they want you be; telling you what to think, how to to behave, what to feel and how good you have it since you are now taken care of and safe... After all, we need to compromise for the good of the "state", for the good of the "family"... No need to communicate... We have compromise.....
Well, this reservation recluse has made a decision. ... I saw a sign. It said, "We don't call 911 here". Is that a decision, a stand, or a direct line of communication?... Well, what I am sure of is that it is no compromise....
So until later, keep the cotton out of your ears, your hands away from your eyes and keep your mouth full of words that define your character and the road you run on... The rest? Well, it just might make a collaborate decision out of a compromised condition...
Keep your rifle ready, your powder dry and your ass on a fine running horse..
