You can hold the door for them
But they have to walk through [it]
You can advise all day long
But sometimes you have to [let others] live it
To know that it is true
You can lead a horse to water But you cannot make it drink
You can give somebody a thousand books But you cannot make them [read] them [or] think [about them]

A discussion with a friend led me to a deep thought process on Semantics and why we have so much trouble with communication with each other. My friend commented "Semantics will kill us if we let it! Good thing we are persistent in learning loving communication! By persistent I mean that I feel comfortable in clarifying myself...and hope yo do too."

Dear readers,
I love to sing, I'm not a great singer with a silvery toned voice, my voice is a nice voice, not formally trained, but not awful. I love to sing. yet as far back as I can remember someone has been telling me not to sing.

Although
we were head over heels in love with each other, and had many things in common,
our families had different lifestyles. The schools I went to offered many field

How we communicate with each other is based on several different factors. Our perception, our assumptions, our world views are among the many ways we communicate. One factor I believe is important is our emotional being. How we feel in our environment.

Dear readers,
We each have a story that belongs to us, a story that we each write. Borrowing an example from Don Miguel Ruiz, pretend you are going to the movies. You walk into one theater and see yourself sitting and watching the show, it’s your show, just the way you know it to be. Then you walk over to the next theater and you see your sister watching the movie.

What exactly is a word? A word is a group of symbols/letters that everyone within a given culture agrees will represent a thing. Take TREE, the word tree is not a tree, its a symbol for that thing that grows tall and offers shade in the backyard, the park or the wilderness.
