Dr. Jerry Harvey communication development examples from real life experiences. He called PARADOX Abilene. He said briefly, it goes like this:
Four adults are sitting on the terrace 104 degree heat in the small town of Coleman, Texas, about 53 miles from Abilene. They engage in small movements as possible, Lemonade drink, watching the fan spin lazily. The characters are husband and wife and wife's parents. Sometimes, the wife he suggested their father's car in the cafeteria eating son-in-law Abilene consider this a crazy idea but did not see the need to upset the apple cart, so he went with it, as did two women. They get the un-air-conditioned Buick and through dust storms and Abilene. Their mediocre lunch at the cafeteria and return to Coleman tired, warm, and generally happy with the experience. Did not return home until it was revealed that none of them really want to go to Abilene-they will only together because they think other people are willing to go. Usually, everyone sees this as a miss in communication problems of others!
This information applies to all types of relationships, jobs, homes, schools, environment, people everywhere and make a decision. How often do we go to Abilene because we don t you want to go against what we think is the majority opinion?
Conventional wisdom states that we do what we say to get into trouble. However, more often than not, what can we say that the more expensive lead to mistakes. Sharing our own reality, feelings, thoughts and beliefs can be dangerous. Have the potential for misunderstandings, conflicts and disputes of Medicine. However, hiding the truth from our own Ding just another river in the relationship.
Today is probably a good day to talk ..... You find yourself before lunch in Abilene.
