Stephanie Booth's online ramblings
Big ideas and analysis related to life and the world. This is where I become philosophical and tend towards guru-ness.
As you grow more intimate with somebody, whether a friend or a lover, that person’s dark side takes more importance.
People show their darker shades only to those they feel close to. If you cannot deal with somebody’s dark side, then you will most probably never be able to be really close.
To communicate, people need to be standing on the same ground. Too often, conversation is flawed, because we think we are on the same ground, but the reality is that each person’s ground is different.
By clarifying which parts of our ground are different, we can understand better where and why we disagree.
