“…can we all get along?”
— Rodney King, 1992
sometimes this quote just pops into my mind…

Read these quotes this morning:
Every man has a right to utter what he thinks truth,
and every other man has a right to knock him down for it.
–Samuel Johnson
The right to be heard does not automatically include
the right to be taken seriously.
–Hubert Humphrey
Its interesting how each person is perceived differently depending upon which side of the conversation they find themselves…
Too often, we forget that in our daily interactions with each other…
I know I can and should do better.

I recently finished listening to George R. R. Martin’s A Game of Thrones and just started book 2 in the series, A Clash of Kings. It had been a while since I’d spent time with fiction – needless to say, I’m hooked.
Anyway, driving to work yesterday, a line from A Clash of Kings really struck me. As a PSA, I share it and a related “charge” that came to mind as I reflected…
The Quote:
“In the end, words are just wind.” — Lord Davos Seaworth
The Charge:
Let’s do our best to not break our wind – er word today.
