“Not everything deserves your attention.”
Too many voices blur the signal.
Too much information erodes clarity.
The nervous system was never designed
to hold the world all at once.
Peace returns
when you choose less.
Fewer opinions.
Fewer interruptions.
More space between thoughts.
Stillness isn’t empty.
It’s selective.
-Kerri-Elizabeth-

This is truly profound, Kerri. So many times, I’ve felt embarrassed for interrupting someone inadvertently. Remembering your wisdom will keep me on a better path!

This is very true, especially with the talking heads on TV politics!

Well anything political is not my arena or wheel house. Id rather write, paint or stay in an ice bath ❤

Those are wise words. An exception is when the other person is talking like a motor mouth without stopping and are getting a lot of things wrong. I’ve read that when someone is hogging the conversation more than 90% of the time for an extended period it is often OK to interupt. That’s like the 90% rule.

I suppose there are exceptions in most things, this could be one. Ive learned that when Im quiet and someone is talking to much, they start to hear themselves and notice it all by themselves. Its been a noticeable thing, although I agree, sometimes I am over loaded by someones non stop and I have to respond as such. Some people can go on and on forsure, I have gotten better at speaking up for my own capacity.

That is an interesting observation. When you encounter misinformed motor mouths who are not interested in listening it is difficult to know how to react.
