Bridge

I don't like that man.  I must get to know him better.

~ Abraham Lincoln

I think when we reach out to learn from and connect wtih people who are different from us, it is like crossing a bridge.  From where we are to where they are.  What I hate is when people just stand there on their own side of the bridge and wait for me to come all the way across. Why not try to meet me at least part way?  Even if I have to come more than half way, a little effort would be nice.

I also don't like it when someone meets me half way and then wants to PLAY bridge.  They know I don't know that game!!
