What is it and what’s it about?
I created and will publish this blog, The ChapmanPerspectives, as a source to begin, and continue, a dialog about news,views,perspectives and problems/opportunities inclusive of different perspectives, and collective wisdom, hopefully becoming an example of compromise and cooperation in action.
It begins with a commitment and willingness to consider the perspectives, needs and value of those we may consider wrong,too liberal, too conservative ,uninformed, or who’s views may be threateningly different than our own.
It is also about realizing that each and every time I give myself the benefit of seeing and experiencing a different perspective, as well as the opportunity to share my own, I grow, learn to own my bones, and broaden my world.
To those who consider this naive, I say this: Knock yourself out, call it fish food for the more evolved ,educated or worldly, and after you do, come on, join me ,be naive for a day, and for that day, lets face the obvious: the complicated, expensive and analytical solutions and plans to solve our problems have not worked, and a contributor to our failure may well be that some answers are so simple and basic, they just couldn’t be the answers.Could they?
Why not.Game on now,lets go!
