The first one.

I can talk to & get along with anyone so long as they're open. The people who think option two is more important tend not to be open, I find.

Well, lets agree that number one is very important, but at least consider the possibility that being uniquely you, in some way, makes life more fun and interesting. There would be nothing to talk about if we all had everything in common. Our differences create interest.

@Serenitree: we read that differently it seems. I saw those things amongst us that set us apart, rather than those things individually that set us apart... if that makes any sense.

@Sonnet: I see. Yes I can see where you're coming from.

@Serenitree: yay!

@Sonnet: I am usually able to see other viewpoints if someone is willing to explain.

@Serenitree: me too, absolutely. I am cursed, or blessed (depending on viewpoint) with being able to see all sides.

Serenitree · F

@Sonnet: I'd say blessed. People who can't see all sides of an issue are likely to make some huge miscalculations in life.

@Serenitree: *fingers crossed* you're right.
