The thing about vunerability and openness





Vulnerability definition
Late Latin vulnerābilis, wounding, from Latin vulnerāre, to wound, from vulnus, vulner-, wound


Openness definition
a. Affording unobstructed entrance and exit; not shut or closed. b. Affording unobstructed passage or view

Vulnerability is like a good gossip session- the conversation is without obstruction, but leads to wounding. If not yours, someone else's.


Openness is like a good conversation with a true friend- there is now obstruction, but you know that they mean well and you are actively listening to new ways of seeing a situation. You are free to take and leave any bits and know that they love you anyway and will be there for you- regardless of your choices.




Choose who you are vulnerable to and who you are open to.

Openness is the stars in a night sky. The light in the dark.

Venus being the brightest.

Happiness is to see the change. Happiness is going for coffee with good friends and sharing stories. No currency can take happiness away. No Forbes list, halved or doubled, can bring the happiness that good friends bring to your life :-)

We travelled, met people, experienced new places, shared ideas, encouraged people to better situations, find solutions to their challenges etc. What the hell happened? Why is it that when I look at the news, newspaper, speak to people at social gatherings to find  time and time again that I get hit by the wall : diversity is all of a sudden the new adversity! The best way I could express myself was simple: I travel often. A great number of times I am able to learn the  basics of the language of the country I travel to. I mean basic. What I have come to realise, is that if I take language away and speak from my heart and use gestures, the ...
