Calling Out

We're all calling out - against violence, in favor of revenge, in favor of a two state solution, against settlements, in favor of justice, against murder, against radicals, against occuppation, in favor of annexation, against demonstrations, against media...

I have a call - I'm against interruption. Seriously, stop interrupting each other all the time.

I do it a lot - and only notice it some of the time. And I can't help but notice it on the news - there are all these interviews with politicians and public speakers, but it just looks like the interviewer is only there to be heard and doesn't really give a shit about what the person being interviewd is trying to say. Which kind of defeats the purpose of the interview. Nobody can finish a sentence! And I'm thinking, maybe if you stop and listen, and respond to what the other person is saying instead of what you think they're saying or what you want them to be saying, you might realise that we're all more alike than we think.

Just listen. Ask questions in order to hear an answer. It doesn't even hurt that much.
