Catching Ourself
This scenario happens to all of us all the time. We're suddenly faced with a point in our conversations where we can feel that it's our turn to talk in order to keep the momentum of the conversation going. Everybody's looking at us, waiting to hear what we have to say - and it's at this point where we have a snap decision to make. We can agree or disagree or be silent. All of these choices can take us closer to or further away from our happiness, so our decision rests upon whether what we're about to say will serve us and our friends, or not. If we say something that doesn't serve us, we'll have to pay the price. But if we catch ourself before saying anything, we can change the direction of the entire rest of our life.
I had this happen to me at a party recently. I was sitting on a large circular couch with a bunch of friends and a couple of strangers. One of the strangers whose name was Millie was talking about how she hated getting older. She droned on well past the point of comfortable conversation. She complained about her legs, her back, her neck. She complained about her lack of finances, her lack of family, her lack of friends. She complained about the government and the healthcare system, and just as her complaints were reaching their crescendo, she turned to me and said, "What do you think about getting older, Tony?"
Well, to be honest, there was a part of me who was primed and ready to commiserate with her. I even heard a voice in my head say something I had said without thinking in similar situations in the past. But this time I caught myself - and stopped for a moment, just long enough to ask myself if saying anything would serve me, or her, or anyone else on the couch. The answer I got was clear. If I agreed with her about her complaints about aging, I would be setting myself (and everyone else who was listening) up to experience the very same things she was experiencing. On the other hand, if I withheld my agreement, it would keep us all of us out of harm's way. So finally, after several seconds, I looked at straight at her and said, "Hmmm, Millie, what you say is interesting…but it hasn't been my experience."
Driving home from the party that night I was mulling over that conversation and breathed a huge sigh of relief. I'd caught myself just in time. If I would have agreed with her...well, let's not even go there.
