More than once I've intentionally fed the monsters just to see the kinds of things they say. My favorite method is to follow up one of their stories with a decidedly unimpressive anecdote using the kind of tone reserved for lunar locomotion: <br /><br />"...yeah that's cool, but nothing compared to the time I found string cheese on sale for twenty cents! That stuff's usually thirty-three! Can you believe it?" <br /><br />If they're a habitual monster, they'll tell story after delightful story. Or if they're observant, and you tell your tale well (not accusingly) they can take the hint without too much bruised ego.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11174524105647416776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-628506312179219744.post-17984071075927158992009-12-04T03:24:45.900-05:002009-12-04T03:24:45.900-05:00Brian rocks en of story.
I agree with you so much ...Brian rocks en of story.<br />I agree with you so much and in fact when you said that it reminded me of a comment i made to dafni out of naivety that demonstrated exactly what one should not do. ):<br />I would like to add though just in my opinion that sometimes wen people say the same phrases over and over again as response to what you are telling them it sounds fake and as if one does not really listen which can cause the talker to keep talking to get a REAL conversation or to not talk anymore after a while. So I guess the point is to keep it real because as humans we need that connections the feeling of "I am not alone in this weird world" <br />So yes a shrink may say "i'm sorry" cause they are there for you to understand yourself and friends can do it too but to a point. There is a point where a talker living in his own reality at that moment needs the amazing depth of connection that humans share when they immerse in deep and heart to heart conversation.<br />I truly believe that our intention in the PRESENT can help us decide what is it that the talker is needing from me and what is that I can give. And always with love and compassion remembering that we all swim in the waves and storms trying to do good and be better.<br />Always speak your truth in a loving way-wow why is it so hard sometimes? A human thing.<br />Regarding respect- in general I do believe we all respect each other though we can use being less critical including on how poeple talk. But in essence respect comes from respecting yourself first and talking without fears and assumptions, now that is hard for many. especially those of us (yes yes it was my twin), who are overcoming some crappy/messy belief systems that are false. Though no one is immune(spelling?). I always go back to the book " The Four Agreements" and Chopra as well.<br />Much work to do<br />Love Eternal<br />MikiMiki n Edhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09676043109078906461noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-628506312179219744.post-85092333403284902682009-12-03T09:39:38.496-05:002009-12-03T09:39:38.496-05:00Brian Regan is hilarious- I couldn't watch the...Brian Regan is hilarious- I couldn't watch the clip on my computer, but I remember seeing that clip before :) You bring up a really good point- sometimes people think the best conversations are when they are doing all the talking and you do all the listening! Sometimes it's just what people need.Lishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00131557809343518213noreply@blogger.com
