We are value-driven robots.

Yup.
I realized it some time ago.

Saying that everyone is different would be a truism.
Saying that people have different values would be a truism as well.

Naturally, as I am telling that to you, you feel that you have experienced that before.
You remember those neverending arguments about something that did not even came close to what you thought you would care about.

Yeah people think differently.
Coming back to the root of all evil is what our experience of the world is.

I remember an argument about two people, whether a divorce between the two parents was a “good” or “bad” thing for the child.
No “good” or “bad” answers. Different contexts. Therefore different values.
One is “Protect the integrity of the family for the child”
One is “Get rid of that tensed atmosphere by seperating”

And behind those values, only positive intention.

ALWAYS believe that there is positive intention.
We’re just so messed up we forgot how to communicate.
We’re asked to play perfectly with a badly tuned violin.

    Pour le divorce y’a pas de bon ou mauvais choix. Rester ensemble c’est mauvais pour tout le monde et se séparer c’est aussi mauvais pour tout le monde. Un divorce c’est jamais ca peut plus ou moins bien se passer mais quoiqu’il arrive c’est pas bon.

    Ma contribution a cette argumentation dont le billet ne parle pas.

    Je n’ai pas d’expérience dans la matière et j’espère qu’on m’en préservera…
    La discussion à laquelle j’avais assistée mettait en jeu une personne qui avait vécu le divorce de ses parents comme un soulagement. Les disputes incessantes avait crée une sensation délétère.
    Et à ce qu’il paraît, maintenant les parents s’entendent beaucoup mieux maintenant qu’ils sont séparés.

    Effectivement, selon moi, il n’existe pas de meilleure solution, mais il doit bien en exister une moins pire.
