G-Pop wants his children to know that there’s nothing terribly mysterious about the mystery of human relationships.
Basically, if you’re willing to show up without arrogance, some awareness of what’s going on, minus a personal agenda, then those who are like you–the human sort–will normally give you a chance to co-mingle.
Yes, it’s really that easy.
But we continue to stumble around acting like we’re a complicated traffic jam of cultures with deep-rooted traditions, making it difficult for us to include anyone else.
But if any of G-Pop’s children are curious, here’s a simple way of understanding how to get along with other people:
1. Find what is of interest.
Yes, topics come and topics go. There are times that subject matters are very important, and other occasions when they aren’t.
For instance, if you’re religious, no one is going to be interested in the story of a 3,000-year-old dead person. Faith must be for today.
If you’re political, what your candidate may decide to do with an endangered species in the Yukon probably won’t be as pertinent as tax reform.
It is necessary to stay current with what is of interest. Case in point: if there are seventeen people killed at a school, it is not the time to discuss gun rights. Likewise, if the Second Amendment is being threatened, it is not a good time to pander pictures of dead children.
Find what is of interest.
2. Be interested.
That means you might need to yank your gaze away from your iPhone. It may be necessary to listen and learn before leaping in to recite something you read on the Internet. You certainly should make eye contact with the speaker and turn your body in the direction of the conversation. Be interested.
3. And then suddenly, you are interesting.
No one will find you interesting if you do not know what is of interest, and have established that you’re interested. Conceit is locking in on your own devotion.
Truthfully, spirituality, which should be pushing us forward in our generosity of spirit, often clings to pillars in the past, unwilling to move and therefore ends up perceived ignorant.
And politics, which should be looking toward the daily bread of problems, is of little use if it is only rallying behind ancient, half-baked causes.
G-Pop wants his children to know that if they want to be successful with others, they should find what is of general interest, be interested and in doing so, become interesting souls themselves.
