A Statement Isn’t an Agreement
The interpretation does it
Today’s random word is statement
Professor Saputra entered the auditorium, where seventy-eight sophomores eagerly awaited him.
“Who has read the “Four Agreements” by Don Miguel Ruiz? he asked.
Lots of heads were shaking; less than ten hands were up.
He approached the board and wrote, “Be precise with your words,” then said, “That’s the one and only clause in our agreement. It’s not a statement. Meaning: you are not allowed to interpret it.”
He paused, then continued…
“This class empowers you not to be a slave of your own or others’ statement because a statement isn’t an agreement unless you interpret it as such.”
