Topic of conversation

Everyone has a combination of features and flaws, strengths and weaknesses.

Too often, we tend to point to the shortcomings. We talk about the failures.

Of all the things a person is doing well, the mistakes and deficiencies are what become topics of conversation.

Who does this help? What purpose does this serve?

What happens if instead, we speak of the strengths? What happens when we become good-finders?

In doing so, we might not have any time left to dwell on the imperfections.

And that might be just fine.
