Barriers to meaning. Today, June 29th, we learned about barriers, although I am sure I don't have a firm understanding yet. I'm sure I'll learn and understand more next time in class, but the goal is to get this done tonight.
I think we all have barriers. Good and bad. Like a corral fence, to keep herds safe from wondering off , to keep predators out, to prevent from eating yummy grass. (It's getting late and I'm getting tired and burned out).
I am not sure if we are to give our own definitions to the different barriers or to post our own definition / cure to stereotyping.
I am back writing this Thursday morning.
I think that a way to break barriers is to keep an open mind. Easier said than done. The next thing, we go to school, the store, work, or even our own family members/ friends. Maybe even exes. We come into contact with people who get on our nerves, annoy, or patronize. Personalities may clash, sticky backgrounds and past events make things awkward. Walls are put up. We can ignore.
Now certainly, all things in balance. We may have to just cut some ties in our lifetimes. I know I've had to. People hurt us, we hurt people, life goes on. Yes, it does hurt. We can long for times when there wasn't any drama. Back the good ol' days. The only thing that we can do is keep on pressing forward, trying, and hoping for better days. We can treat others as we want to be treated. We can say 'hello' to those co-workers who annoy, etc.
We can educate our children to treat others kindly. We can do our best to have an open heart and mind. We can break these barriers to the best of our ability.
