OT: What do you think about that?

Lol !!! " Wo kennst du mein bruder"

You illustrated my point quite well with this video. Of course there are too many Turkish and Moroccan people to know everybody's brother, but understanding the culture is crucial. You see, culture binds the ego.

Their ego runs under strict laws, enforced by culture. Understanding the culture makes their reaction predictable, and when you know what to expect, you can experiment with ways to either guide their ego, or in some cases, bypass it. And then underneath it all you find the very same divine core that is yourself.
That's when you notice that the white and the black part of the Yin-Yang are seperate, but still part of the same circle.

Yes...the ego...sometimes i wonder what the nature thought when it was created *gg*

Ok thats one point - understanding the culture and reacting the right way. This remembers me on the NLP directive to be responsible for what your words trigger in your conversational partner. If one of the two is able to take the responsibility for his action, and is aware of the situation, he can then adapt his way of communicating and make a positive experience for both of them.

I like that point, it makes sense :-)
