Hmmmm....pondering...pondering....

It is about understanding and respect...and that has to flow both ways. All of us have cultural and/or ethnic and/or historic, etc., etc., etc. paradigms. And All of us have distorted vision, or an inaccurate roadmap of reality, because our paradigms function as lenses and are never clear or colorless.

I value what you are courageous enough to share, Azizi. And you also have your own distortions with which to deal.

My hope would be that conversations such as this can help all of us see more clearly. Each of our points of view are valid within our own paradigms. Scary.
