You come into my office for a meeting. During the meeting, all I do is type into my iphone, look at my watch, with my feet on the desk.
What can you tell me about what I'm doing?
If you asked people that, you'd say I was distracted, wasn't paying attention, wasn't interested in what you had to say, perhaps was arrogant or rude. How much of this is true, how much an assumption versue how much a judgment? And do we do it while reading posts?
The facts are I was typing on my iphone, looking at my watch and had my feet on the desk. That's it. What you took that to mean is your assumption, that I'm distracted, not paying attention or wasn't interested. What that makes me, based on your assumption, is a judgment, I am arrogant or I am rude.
I'm wondering, when posting, how much do we assume, how much do we judge and how does that affect our response, and if we're even aware of it. Not only that, but what about in our normal day to day activities. Then I wonder how that affects our Christian walk.
Yup, these are the kind of things I think about.
