floating and anomalies
I've been thinking about "floating" and not in transition or stagnating. I've still been thinking about anomalies and how we categories things, and arrange them because we are tribal and want to make sense of things we do not have any familiarity with in our limited view or education. Some rigidity is due to our earliest experience and values and beliefs. We have to talk in others' cultural language. We have to understand others' mores and background, pace and norms. Anomalies are differences that people are not wanting to notice or understand. When people make us uncomfortable, or situations make us uncomfortable, we don't know how to act. We want to fight or make judgments, instead of questioning people and reaching them where they are at. Koraling Lynne
