Dear Editor:
I’d like to call to counsel and attention as open and honest as I can that I’ve recently had a real life case study of people and demands on a daily basis. Structure, self-centeredness, and policy do not mix. Neither does someone being humble and forthright equal to being pure rude, withholding a just due sincere apology. Where are the people that will give credit where it’s due? Read that question again. Where are the people from an unbiased point of view? I say that respectfully but more elaboration is coming soon.
We deem ourselves to forget that a person’s life can be painstakingly interrupted, or not, while we’re so concerned about our own agendas, motives, and building our empires. Let’s get real here people. Why give someone an answer to a question that’s a total scripted response when they’ve dug in the unseen trenches for you! And I know what it is to dig a ditch, literally.
We completely miss a candid person’s unrequited concern whether we agree with that person’s call or not. It’s easy to be critical of their failure to see the big picture and also begs the question of being too quick with answers to questions we don’t truly understand. Deep calls out to deep, not shallow to shallow.
Yes people, where are the people who actually listen with unadulterated, barebones language of pure common sense (written by Thomas Paine in early 1776) that will acknowledge in such a way that is tangible and well deserved.
Iris Lyons, Lena
