Uncomfortable Conversations with a Coworker

Great response Al! By your not making assumptions of Frustrated’s situation, you gave all of us more broadly applicable ideas. Each of us can be misunderstood by others and that can escalate if we don’t handle it well early… and handling conflict well is no small feat.

Kerrying On: Still Stumbling

Your article stirs me. Probably not in the way you intended though. In the first article, I knew you weren’t advocating poverty to find happiness. What’s interesting for me is that as a young adult (I’m > 50 now), I didn’t understand that. I did seek poverty for happiness and I found happiness in life just like anyone might. I also found it was very difficult and stressful to handle the lack of money to pay for necessities.

I figured it out and we now have enough to get by with a little left over… and we know where to find happiness. I wish that instead of assuming, I had done what your reader did and asked those who were telling me “poverty stories” in my youth if they were suggesting poverty as a road to happiness.

Keep writing!
