When someone tells you to shut up,
they're saying three distinct things:
1. Your opinion isn't one I want to hear.
2. Your opinion isn't based on what I accept.
3. My opinion is better so let me say it.
There are more reasons, I'm sure you can
add some, but...there's that enormous...but;
always bear in mind- after we shut up-
we listen with different ears.
In Seminary a lady missed class, all the folks
knew she'd need the assignment, but everybody
was slightly hesitant to volunteer to take it to
her. She was the wife of the then chief of Police
for the city...guess who finally got volunteered?
I'll never, ever forget; going to the door
with the papers and being greeted by this
sweet lady...with two gigantic Rottweillers'.
