Changes

KATHY: I have a question about Eric [[reading]] this newspaper article tonight. While we all identified with it and laughed about it, the [[communication]] between [[male]] and [[female]] - I guess my question is - is this an [[inevitable]] part of it or is there a real need for [[growth]] in [[communication]] between the sexes?

WILL: This [[question]] troubled me greatly while I lived my [[material]] life. I often felt [[frustrated]] at the apparently complete [[failure]] of [[communication]] between my [[husband]] and myself on matters which I felt of great import and which he seemingly felt were [[trivial]]. I think that for your [[purposes]], this situation is best described by the section on [[Morontia mota]] in the [[Urantia Book]] which states, if I recall correctly, that [[mediocrity]] seeks to preserve itself in standardization. Your people are only a few thousand years from [[hunting]] their sustenance from the [[forests]] and [[plains]] or digging for their supper with a sharpened stick. In less fortunate times, from subsisting from what is found dead upon the ground. Even today, more people than can be counted by you live at such a [[standard]]. It is not yet time on your [[planet]] to change the age old [[relationship]] between the man who looks out and the woman who looks inward. Much time will be consumed before these [[orientations]] fade into historic [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anecdote anecdotes]. Strong [[socialization]] programs will go far towards eradicating some of the more [[fundamental]] [[differences]] between [[males]] and [[females]] on your planet with nearly all of the world and even most of your own [[society]] is not ready. Besides, when I surveyed the [[male]] members of your group, I see that they don't know what we are talking about. (uproarious [[laughter]])

KATHY: I guess that is the second half of my [[question]], do you have any specific [[advice]] for our [[group]] as opposed to the [[nation]] at large?
