I like to fantasize about what be the most innapropriate responses for specific occasions-especially formal ones. Sometimes I act upon these fantasies.
do you have to respond? and if so why? to get the record straight, to enforce justice, to massage my ego, to talk so i can hear my own voice? i think not. i respond because god did. it is not about me and the things i think are important, but it is about glorifying the creator of the universe. of course if you think this is all just a pile of random cells colliding then i guess it doesn't matter either way, or as the comic said, 'when you say its all good, that means you don't care'
An appropriate response to what? To a church service, to a rock concert, to a piece of art, to a work of literature, to a friendly gesture? Hmmmmmm. I suppose a thoughtful one in each case. Refering to Covey - You can respond immediately after receiving a stimulus, or you can think and then respond after receiving a stimulus. Thinking is always good!!
Depends (not the diapers).
ReplyDeleteWAIT, LISTEN, PRAY, respond.
ReplyDeleteto what?
ReplyDeleteIt all depends on the question.

ReplyDeleteI'm not sure, but I do know that I am the kind of person who loves appropriate-ness. It dictates most of my actions...and responses.
ReplyDeletean honest one. preferably tactful.
ReplyDeleteDepends on what your definition of appropriate is.
ReplyDeleteone that is true, kind, and necessary... if it's not all three, it is not worth saying

ReplyDeleteDepends on the situation. Sometimes no response speaks volumns and in the long run is the better response.
