The greatest fallacy in human communication is…

it seems to be the case that often folks think that if any two people do not see eye-to-eye or feel the same way or think the same way on any given issue that they could if they just tried hard enough. i will submit to you that if they are of different personality types or different brain dysfunctions or a combination of the two that they couldn't see eye-to-eye or feel or think the same way on that certain issue NO MATTER HOW HARD THEY TRY! that is not to say that they could not UNDERSTAND the other point of view but they could not THINK OR FEEL OR SEE EYE-TO-EYE on that certain issue NO MATTER HOW HARD THEY TRY!

for example, if you accept that there are four basic personality types…people oriented, detail oriented, result oriented or concept oriented then you by definition will accept as well that if two people are of different personality types that they will not agree, think or feel the same way about certain issues as folks who do not share the same personality type. and as well, it goes without saying that a bipolar person feels differently about a lotta things than a "normal" person even if they are of the same personality type as well for a homosexual person and a heterosexual person and on and on and on ad infinitum.

i share that with you because today i have had several occasions to experience this communication problem and i have had to bring myself back to reality and not blame the other party for the way that they do things. i know that they have no other choice than to feel, think, and react the way that they do. don't take it personal, folks…just the way that things are. i would appreciate your comments and views on this issue.
