What is hardening of the categories?

Could it be that you don’t listen to those you don’t agree with?

If that is your story, you have hardening of the categories.

In other words you aren’t willing to hear the other side of the story before you make judgment.

I don’t believe it is an age issue, but it could be. It could be a younger person who is not willing to look beyond their experience to see what options are open. It could be an older person who thinks they have all the answers.

No matter how old we are, I believe that we need to start opening our eyes to the world situation. Yes, with all the terrorism and killing that is going on, we need to look to new solutions.

Could there be ideas or practices from our past that have been ignored, because they are from the past?

What do we need to do to wake up to the fact that communication is a dying art?
