Here is an actual exchange of words I heard yesterday. It was so bizarre that it must be shared:
“You guys are so paranoid you take a simple question as an insult!”
“You’re the one who’s paranoid.”
“About what?”
“About us being paranoid.”
Can you unravel that one?
Hi Dave,
ReplyDeleteI am just learning about "blogging" and who better to blog with than you. (But will this comment really be posted? And am I being paranoid to assume my
username will be posted along with it? I hope not.)
And what will become of us, due to all of this wired interaction? I suppose it's all just a big experiment -- the digital revolution -- but why does our generation have to be the test subjects? With regard to your quote of the day and the exchange of words: I think we're all a little paranoid. And as I mature -- actually maybe I'm hardening instead of maturing -- but as I think I'm maturing, I've learned to come less from a defensive posiition in conversation. And I find that accusations offer an opportunity to engage in conversation a little deeper and I find that exciting. It could be a sociopathic tendency to....... no, no,
I'll stop here.
Is this a blog?
Nah, you aren't mystified. You're just being paranoid...

lol! Thanks for sharing - made my day. Every day people are so unwilling to open up that they miss all kinds of opportunities to really connect and communicate with one another. I try to make sure I don't fall into the trap of closing up and becoming defensive too often. Great blog!
