“I’d rather be drugged than dragged.”
The Chemical Buddha thought the secret to getting along with others was clear written and verbal communication. Of course, he often would hear what he wanted to hear. For instance, he thought two mean looking strangers asked if he wanted to be drugged. But instead, they asked him if he wanted to be dragged and then jumped him. (Although, they were a little taken aback when TCB replied ‘yes.’) Luckily, before they were able to go through with it, the police showed up and arrested the men. As the officers took The Chemical Buddha home he was still a bit confused, because he asked the city’s finest, where the drugs were. Which in turn created several problems for our hero, but we’ll save those for another time.
Do you clearly ask for what you want or do you hope people figure it out?
How often do you misunderstand what people’s actions and words mean? Do you think it’s possible you hear/see what you want to hear/see?
