Dancing with dichotomy; we can learn from others but do we?

Human beings , who are almost unique in having the ability to learn from the experience of others, are also remarkable for their apparent disinclination to do so. ~ Douglas Adam (English writer, 1952-2001).

Ain’t it the truth?  We have continuous, marvelous opportunities to learn from others but do we?

Does ‘different’ make you cringe?  Does ‘other’ make you turn the other cheek?

Seek out difference and there’s no telling what you’ll learn …. about yourself.  I know of what I speak as much of the original impetus for Life Lenses™ came from having a partner vastly, every so vastly different from myself.

I’ve just signed up to tour a Buddhist temple and have lunch there.  I’m seeking difference.

I look for differences that make a difference and similarities that are significant.

You?
