Ask questions without judgment.
Listen without injecting my own opinions.
Embrace the possibility that I might be wrong.
It's so hard to do.

Well, your words sound a bit like The Way. No, you're not practicing Taoism, but the idea that you do without doing is strong in your words, Mike. You have to remember that you you will fall off the path, but as long as you try to continue on, if that is what you choose to do, then you have found your own way, and you're doing your best to make things around you better. It's a noble, impossible goal, but one that is worth striving for, I think.

Y'all are better, nicer people than I am. I have settled merrily into the cranky old lady part of my life span, building upon the success of an earlier cranky period, and I don't intend to abandon the post.

Especially a problem here... Yet people disagree here, so, paradox...

Most cats, having once jumped on a hot stove, will assume the stove is always hot.
We all have our experiences; that's all we've got.
The best feature of a board like this is that it allows people to share their experiences. Sometimes, it'll open up some new way to interpret the world.
If we let it.
