Sharing of Yourself?

What risks are there to sharing? What are the risks to not sharing and holding everything inside? What are the advantages to not sharing?

Thinking?

Do most people prefer to think for themselves? Does it seem that many prefer to be told what they think? Or maybe to be told what they “should” think?

YOU NEVER KNOW?

Do most of us live our lives unaware of the effect we have on others? Do we share with others, but often not know what is taken from what we share? Unless someone relates the effect of our influence, how do we know?

Different Views?

Can we find points of agreement in our differences? Is it a matter of focus? Is it a choice of a perspective that is more positive or one that is more negative? Does it involve respect for others even those with different viewpoints?

Discernment?

How do we know? In the current contentious state of our culture and society and with the seeming lack of any accountability on social media, how do we discern fact from opinion, the accurate thought from the inaccurate?

Got it?

What does it mean, when someone says, “I got it”? Does that mean I know how and am capable of doing it? Rather, could it mean, “leave me alone I can do this”? Maybe, I do not want your help? Is this not something we learn to say as we strive for independence, at a young age?

Sharing Thoughts? #2

What happens when someone shares their inner thoughts? What impact does it have on the one who expresses the thoughts? What about the one who receives the thoughts? Are there many layers of effect on the one with whom it is shared?

Thoughts?

Do we freely choose the thought on which we are focusing? If so, how do we select that thought? Why do we select that thought? Do some thoughts seem to kidnap our mind and take off with it, without our conscious approval?

LAUGHING?

Are children the gurus of laughter? Is the laughter of children very infectious? When watching a group of people is it often the child who inspires the adults to erupt into fits of laughter?
Is life, in general, better because we laugh, (outwardly or inwardly) or at least observe others who do?

SHARING?

Sharing is something we all do. Do we not share stories, ideas, experiences, respect and love? If we share so much, why is there such reluctance to share our feelings, opinions, values and beliefs? Why are we hesitant to reveal who we really are? Is it a fear of rejection or of being labelled wrong? Does a vulnerability to judgement inhibit us?
