Quote of the Week

We find comfort among those who agree with us - growth among those who don't.  - Frank A. Clark


It's always nice to gather with those of like mind.  We feel understood and validated.  However, sometimes we need to step out of our comfort zone, to stretch our minds and reach a new level of understanding.


This is our Comfort Zone

  2. Wonderful quote. I know so many people who only listen to those who validate their own beliefs. That's fine, but you learn nothing. Find out why people differ. Try and understand opposing views. You may learn a lot!

    Love the gatos!

  3. Couldn't agree more, we need to hear the people who don't agree with us as much, maybe more than, those who do.

    Love the picture.

  4. A chair full of warm cats!

    we used to have a friend who we called 'A thorn in the side of democracy'. More was done with her around than with all the 'nodders in agreement' put together.
