Words are important. It is how we see the world, solve problems and have fun along the way.
The other day I met someone new. We both brought great energy and intention to connect well with each other.
As the conversation went, I find myself being corrected and learning heaps. A more accurate word, another angle to the situation, and interesting problems to tackle (finding different business structures to mitigate the downside of capitalism).
After one too many times of being corrected, I found myself being derailed to a topics that I don’t think were conducive to me or the conversation. I have no idea how I got there.
That conversation stayed with me for days. I wondered if I could’ve done anything different for a better conversation? Could I have stayed more present? Should I have listened to the subtext more? Could I have asked what did he really want to share with me? Am I being too much of a smarty pants?
And, I wonder if he is thinking the same?
