End of the world is coming. |
For whatever reason I was never a good liar and for sure I am not comfortable telling lies. I don't know if a poor memory is responsible but I could never remember stuff other people seemed to have no trouble with. Like faces and names. But I was always very inventive at embellishing answers and using statements that were true to make my point.
Later, when I started teaching kids how to play tennis I made a discovery. Not one kid heard the same thing, from what I said, even though they all heard the same words and saw the same physical demonstration. And few heard what I would have heard, if I was the listener. (Which is what most people think is happening.) So I always preferred teaching one on one as opposed to group teaching. I never had a kid I could not teach how to play regardless of their intellectual or physical condition. I taught a few wheel chair tennis beginners.
Why? Because I accepted the 'everyone is different' proposition. Even twins, when you are talking to one, the other is in a different position, therefore the circumstances would never be exactly the same for the input of information.. When they are babies, your pronunciation would be different, your smile would be different, a good part of everything is different.... you get the point.
So I came to the conclusion we are all in our own world. Each and every one of us. The prediction that the world is going to end was correct. In my opinion, every time someone passes, that individual's world ends.
