"Huh?"
"Those that look for commonalities with others and those that look for differences."
Which type are you?
It is such an interesting use of terminology. I was confused by the lumpers and splitters reference. But, then again, I wasn't part of the conversation - I was eavesdropping. I know, shame on me. I couldn't help myself, sitting at the table alone, while my dining partner was in the restroom. Don't tell me you haven't done the same.
But the words caught my ear, and I listened for the explanation. It makes sense if you think about it.
And, I guess I am a lumper. I look for similarities. I look for what brings us together, not what drives us apart. What about you?
I'm both!
ReplyDeleteI love to know that I fit in and I'm not alone.
But, then again, I love to see and hear about other people and all the ways their life is different. I have realized that my opinions are based on only my understanding of the world and I see the world in such a limited way. To learn how others see the world is a gift. Besides, if everyone were like me, I'd be bored!
