We get lost sometimes in our own opinion...in our own worlds. Being in this profession...well...that makes it even more easy. The problem with this is that we forget to include the other...we forget that they hold their own world.
Consider relationships....I have my world...you need to have your own world...and we need to have a world made of us both. The problem is that too many people try and throw their opinions and beliefs on the other without consideration and care.
When I think of playing fair, I think it consists of bringing your own self in connection to another where dialogue exists...not orders. It's me bringing the peanut butter and you the jelly. There is a dance, a stepping on toes and at times a tug o' war but in the end...it is just us...separate but together. Choosen not directed.
I believe that people will speak for the other and will give orders rather than consideration because they are scared. They fall into the type that believe that the only decision that can be made should be theirs or else they are not important. Conversation and consideration is too scary...too open...
"I will talk a big game and roll over you so that you don't roll over me..." Why do they do this? They do this so that they don't get forgotten or lost.
Dialogue means there is a return policy...orders means no refunds.
The fact is that you will get lost at times. You will be forgotten by others. You will not matter to everyone. That's not a myth, that's a fact. The sooner you accept this, the easier it is to learn that it doesn't matter.
But let's be fair, someone is always willing to find you...Someone will always remember who you are...and Someone will think you are the world.
