Our latest class continued with the Believer/Doubter exercise.   The other members of the class had the opportunity to present their questions to the group.  As with many things, we discovered there are two sides to every coin.  For every positive we came up with, we were able to see the same point as a negative.  The game is a great technique for flushing out details of the question and for allowing other perspectives to shine.  It also requires the originator of the question to reevaluate is purpose in pursuing that question.  Depending on how much and what one really wants to accomplish will determine which factors are truly positive or negative.

Additionally, I noticed how, depending on how one looks at it, “well-trained” or “well-programmed” I really am.  Each time my mind started to form a comment it turned into a question.  ‘Have you considered this?  Did you think about that?  Why not try this?  How did you decide that?’  I had a difficult time just making a statement using what I already know.  Granted my knowledge of music and sociology is limited, but I have spent so many years asking for more details and more information that it was very difficult to try and work with what I had already been given and already knew.  I realize being able to ask questions is not a bad skill to have, but I have to remember I do not always have to approach everything in that fashion.
