*~*^Just For Today!^*~*
For some reason, we spent a lot of time
thinking or noting or talking about how wrong or mistaken so many other
people persistently were. (Whether they really were or not is irrelevant to the
welcome change in our own feelings now.) For some, the change begins with a
tentative willingness to wait and see, to accept for a moment the hypothesis
that the other person just possibly might be right. Before rushing to judgment,
we suspend our own argument, listen carefully, and watch for the
outcome.
