DISCOVER VERSUS DEFEND MODE

 Reading books often educate but, at times, it helps to articulate what you experience.

People (and dogs) who are highly sociable go through life in a discovery mode are happier, more sociable are happier and more eager for experiences. Conversely,  people who are in defensive mode are more defensive and anxious and have rare moments of safety.

My life has always been a persistent series of opportunities to chat with people. In my 86 years, it has always been a privilege to talk with others. Sometimes, the conversation is simple, e.g., “what a beautiful day”, or political, e.g., “what do you think of the implications of Trump being president again”, or “what are your thoughts about global warming?”

One aspect of my life is share thoughts with people I meet. I would like to think that I am informative to some, a source of information or happiness to others. Sometimes people laugh at my comments.

I am always in the discover mode!
