I never cease to be amazed at how intrusive and clueless people - TopicsExpress



          

I never cease to be amazed at how intrusive and clueless people can be (starting with myself). In an Orthodox shul, there are sections for men and women and yet many people ignore this, particularly the insane. If you dont join with people and tune in to them before you talk to them, youll often say things that are intrusive or inappropriate. You might presume an intimacy that is not there. The other night, I saw this 70 year old guy turn to a girl he did not know and the first thing he said was, What gives you greatest pleasure? The girl got embarrassed and said, Thats a very personal question. The guy meant well. He was listening to her talk about her life plans and college plans, but he didnt tune in to her before opening his mouth. If you want to help people, you first need to join with them before you help.
