I go to the s...Yes, it awakens the humanity in us. I go to the store and my conversation with another human being is reduced to “Paper or plastic?” I call the 800 number for service, and I’m gated through a set of scripted questions sandwiched between an insincere greeting, and a faux expression of appreciation of patronage that always sounds like “thank you for shopping at K-mart.” At the office I’m subordinated to the hierarchy, whether they are reasonable or not. My job is getting my inflexible computer to reflect the work product required by the human stakeholders. Here the ostensible platitudes are teamwork, cooperation, and service. Just under that veneer lays the narcissism, bullying, and desire to win at any cost. A ten minute tanda is a radical response to the dehumanizing reality of modern day-to-day living. It is an opportunity for two humans to embrace each other in the promotion of humanity. Don’t let the precious opportunity slip away because your partner isn’t a good enough dancer, tall enough, young enough, old enough, attractive enough, friendly enough……..whatever enough. Every embrace has a story – dance with it.T-SVBnoreply@blogger.com
