One thing for sure, is that your are good at speaking less, and saying more.
That's a good way of looking at other people. The mystery that surrounds the road they've travelled, the people they've met, and the work they've done, keeps people as interesting, umm, people.
If everything (personalities, feelings, emotions)
were so visable to the eye, then we'd loose something - probably the human spirit. But more so, if these visibilities were 'transmited', then I see your point about the consequences of what this brings about.
Pre-disposed feelings and attitudes toward others, based on other peoples' feelings is a dangerious thing, and I should avoid it.
As a doctor, I must always remember, that I must treat the 'Patient', not only the 'Disease'. And to do this, I better recall my sense of the human spirit.
thanks for these lessons, i'm learning as much as i can.
