Exchanging ideas

What do you think?
Is this a good idea?
Only if you're interested.
Otherwise it's a pain.
We have to ask to find out.
Unless information is offered unsolicited.
Then we still have to decide whether or not to accept it.

Acceptance requires openness

Rejection requires being closed
Ideas cannot be entertained without a degree of openness
They may not stick if disliked
But they might - causing us to change
What we want is what we want
No point denying it
Acceptance requires openness

There's more to me than meets the eye!

I am not just my weight and shape.
We all have ideas about weight and shape.
How these ideas make us feel is up to us.
They do not have to determine how we act, unless they do.
Then what?
What are we going to do about it?
I-dent-it-Y?

Are you truly interested in the views and attitudes of others?

What does this mean?
Am I open to others' ideas?
Do I give my full attention to them?
Focusing requires concentration.
What you learn could help.
You and others.

"That's not fair!"

What is fair?
We all have different ideas about this.
Yet, fairness is more of a feeling than an idea, isn't it?
Balanced exchange is fair.
When both sides feel fairly treated by the other.
Always balance the scales of fairness.
This doesn't mean they have to be level!

Exchanges need to be fair, not equal

So what's 'fair'?
We all have our own ideas about this.
Fairness is a feeling.
We know when something feels right, feels 'fair'.
We can still accept an unfair exchange ...
But we're likely to feel resentment if we do.
So check what you feel to check what you think!

Fair exchange is no robbery!
