Dialogue.

“Understanding starts with a dialogue, and the most important part of dialogue is to listen.”–Howie Long

What is it that men can do standing up, women can do sitting down, and dogs do on three legs?  Shake hands, of course!

In other words, we can come together from a number of differing postures.  Frankly, I think a lot of people are missing this point in our society.  We may not fully understand one another’s positions on matters at hand, but we can—and must—try.

There are a lot of well-meaning people trying to make a statement on a number of issues.  They may or may not be approaching it in the best possible ways, but this is beside the point.  The most important thing is that voices—all voices—be heard.  Howie Long nailed it when he said “the most important part of dialogue is to listen.”

Today’s post is short.  There is not a lot of words needed, here.  There is, however, need for much discussion.  People have things to get off their chest.  Let them.  Listen to them.  Seek first to understand.

Talk.

Carpe momento!
