One Transaction At a Time

We speak often of viewing things from 50,000 feet. Once people elevate themselves to that level, we can detach "enough" from our own stake in things to view behavior on a transactional level. How many threads are on this board about "what to do" for Mother's Day? This is up to and including those poor souls whose wives took one from posOM just last night. If you're at 50,000 feet, is there any sort of warmth that would be productive in that situation? Are you ok with what she's doing? If you aren't, then why in the world would you go out of your way to be nice? All you're doing is giving the signal that you are OK with what she's currently doing. Are you? Then gin up the stones to resist doormat behavior. You cannot talk your way out of something you've behaved your way into. BUT.. you can BEHAVE your way out of it. Yet, you got into this "one transaction at a time" That is also the road out. But, you have to observe your own reactions to manage your own lives. Have a great day ladies and gentlemen. Observe what's going on and report it. We'll kick it around.
