Build vs. destroy might be a bit radical. How about support vs. critique?

Ha, didn’t really anticipate a response and created another opportunity for me to see how participating in community refines us; thanks for making the effort…yes, most perspectives are much cleaner in rhetoric as the practical is more complex and much messier, but many times more worthwhile. The value a person inherently holds goes way beyond any actions they take or imperfect perspectives they hold, so I’d like to think that we can properly value someone while also making “judgments” or critiques. Perhaps a fundamental differentiator is whether the communication of the judgment is intended to build or destroy, do you agree/disagree?

Good rhetorically, so when we say “I like you for who you are”, are we rushing to judgement or accepting people for who they are?

In order to take the good or leave the bad judgments need to be made.

.ThxJLM.

ME LIKE THAT.YOU WILL LOSE AT ALMOST EVERYTHING. PICK THE ONE THING TO WIN AT THAT MAKE THE REST NOT MATTER.

JLM,Your are the greatest storyteller! I have been a reader of AVC for years and I still look forward to a JLM story.You need to write a book. You could give a 1-line piece of advice and then a great story to back it up. You kinda remind of Harvey Mackay.Thanks.

All the best minds of this world are playing with that world around them.
