Hi all,
I wonder if anyone else has noticed that emailing and talking to someone in
person is very different. When you have another person in front of you with
blue, green gray, or pink eyes and a face, white, black, brown, yellow, tan
or otherwise shaped somewhat similar to your own, looming large or
short,breathing, frowning or smiling, grimacing, listening to you, does it
not bring out a more human response or maybe temper the reaction? What does
influence our conversation anyway? Is it our need to prove ourselves worthy=
?
Is it some ego thing? How important is it to convince anyone of anything?
Are we aware when we are conversing or emailing that the subject matter may
not be as important as the feelings of whom we are conversing? In what
circumstance is anger necessary or constructive? Whether we are in a clayar=
t
list or any other group, discussing technique, philosophy, or preferences I
would like to make the humble suggestion that we think about what we are
relaying to one another before we send it. Consider whether we would respon=
