ORDINARY LIFE - Thoughts and Ideas to Help You Live a Happier Life

Summary of Ordinary Life for June 16, 2024

Dear Ones -
I called the time we spent together in Ordinary Life this week -
Why Don’t We “Get” Each Other?
Our tendency is to think that if those who disagree with us would just “be reasonable,” then our differences would disappear. But, the fact is that any of us can “reason” ourselves into any position. We can all be affected by “motivated ignorance” and be completely blinded by our biases. Our moral thinking and reasoning is much more like a politician searching for votes than a scientist searching for truth. Caring for one another is how we contribute to healing.
That’s a brief summary of this week’s time in Ordinary Life.
The audio/video versions of the talk has some differences from the text I spoke from. You can find the text of the talk, the presentation slides and links to the audio and video version of the talk using the links below.
Our podcast, “In Between,” can be accessed through the Ordinary Life web site.
