How do we immerse into different areas? Think of all the things that come around you and surround you. What are the things in which you enjoy and what are the things in which you wish to enjoy?
Are there benefits to what you wish to do? If there is meaning rather than finding the meaning due to the status quo - go your own way and judge and see what is deemed best. To discover is not about uncovering yourself - it's about uncovering what is around you that you can take in.
Life is like a circle, it will go up and then will go downwards and as well within some manner there is a circle area that surrounds us. Have you ever considered the last time how the distance that you keep while talking with another person. Most people have a distance of 2 and a half feet, while talking to another person. Why is that. I think it has to do with something that we have a inner core and sphere that we create a invisible border - and we don't even realize it.
Just thoughts as it's been a day and thank god tomorrow is Friday!
funny you wrote about this jack... yesterday, in a meeting i went to with some NGO heads, i was seated between two guys. i knew them fro a long time and often have meetings with them in a network... but i feel more comfortable with one than the other... when one greeted me with a handshake coupled with a hug it was very natural and i felt comfortable... after the other extended his hand for the handshake and when i gave my hand he held it with both... i felt myself cringe inside but tried not to, but when i looked at him he felt it... i was embarassed somewhat for he might be offended... but sometimes there's this barrier we put up iniside that even if we don't blatantly show it, others would feel.... i don't know, depends on the person you communicate too as well... there really are some people you get comfortable to even if you just met them... i would understand too if others would feel the same way about me...
ReplyDeleteI think most people have a personal comfort zone around themselves that they prefer others to respect. I have met a few people who seem not to have one and not to be at all sensitive to those of others. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr..those people seem to prefer standing on your toes to hold a conversation! It can become quite annoying if a person constantly invades your personal space when you aren't all that comfortable with them.
ReplyDeleteHi Jack, varainy is saying much what I wanted to express. I will simply add that it varies with whom it is we are around. Always better to stand at an angle, and rather on the side of a person to talk, not exactly in front specially if the space is restricted and you would end up infriging on the other`s comfort zone. When we see someone backing up all the time as we talk, it`s time we get the message. Good day to you!
ReplyDeleteWell I was that way Norma back two years ago. But only on the internet. As it was frustrating at times to do things in a manner without people thinking that you were trying to force things in something that is now deleted. But in life we do have a zone
ReplyDeleteWho knows I think this is the avenue of whom is and whom is not and or what there intentions are. Too hard for me to think about it as I am not much into anything but surrounding myself in life and as well online with people that have thoughts but not ill will. That's a subject within it's self. My thoughts before I take a 20 minute nap! : )
Danielle it's Friday - thank god! Zones, all I know regarding zone is that we all have something that we protect or more so have a set out platform of what and whom we are and how we wish to live our lives.
ReplyDeleteI meant to come back to this as your mention is very true. Ira the best to you and have a great weekend.
ReplyDeleteG'day Jack,
ReplyDeleteWell I for one will not accept the "toe to toe nose to nose" situation, it is not unusual for me to excuse myself quietly & step back, if an explanation is required the word "claustrophobia" (whispered) always works, people usually respect a "sickness" more so than a personal need, especially if they don't suffer the same problem. enjoy your weekend, it is followed by work days lol
