****

I chose this direction for my 50-words-or-less Dribble poem after a challenging interaction today with a black-and-white thinker.

Compassion trumps frustration when interacting with people who think in black and white.

Their rigid thinking keeps them from fully appreciating life’s nuances. Communication, understanding, and problem-solving are challenging.

A linear world, one devoid of compromise or possibilities, can be a world without color.
