True....I almost always disagree with myself!!! Why? Because of those other possibilities that I know arer out there.
I fully respect the fact that people learn, receive input and grow via different preferences and modes...some of which it just so happens that I may not like personally. I spent many, many years producing short-form documentaries and a big part of that was interviewing people, face-to-face, about what makes them tick. All in all it was extremely rewarding work, the results of which still rumble about in my frayed little noggin. Anyway, the process of inquiry and then further inquiry, probing via an array of recirculating questions did, in fact, mean getting at deeper meanings and more complete understanding of these people, their motivations, and their complexity. But....as trust was a major factor in producing these pieces...I had to do all this in a respectful manner. Almost as a learner. It is possible.....friction is not a requirement at all from my point of view.
