Re: perceiving conflict

[tom mccreary <paramacs@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Perception is what thte people around the world react to.  Truth which
should be our just balance isn't aways available or even welcomed when it
is.  Ask a republicann and a demoacrat to defeinee the other one.  Would you
be presented with truthful descripitions? Or ask a Chevy owner and a FOrd
owner who makes tthe better trck.Or an accomplished ballroom dancer  and a
master chess player whose activity is more gruelling. It seems what we ahve
here is a differing of opinion on the moral, social, political, religious,
etc. worth of the topci and the tone of presentation of the supporters of
each side of the various topics.
old proverb, " i would rather live withi a constant dripping of water, or
live on th roof wiith the goat than live in ths house with a contentious or
annoying person"
