The Wisdom of a Grandfather
by Many a grandfather is neglected in regards of their wisdom and how they over came problems in their life and how valuable a resource he is as to how to keep a family together in all sorts of weather.
What is a Man’s Nature?
And how does it affect every living soul in Mankind?
When presupposing any form or kind of a proposition, on how to explain what is work, that a grandfather wants to deliver to his grandchildren, who are under 18 years of age he will probably begin with a story some what like Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.
How ever that same grandfather who is being asked a question by his grown up grandchildren who are now 25 and older about what is a Mans Nature? And how does it affect every living soul in Mankind every where? Will probably start with a Paradox, and may be a Parable or two, so as to stimulate interest and help his grandhildren to exercise their thinking in more productive ways. For example how tall does a adult Man or an Adult Woman look to a child of seven who is laying on their back on the ground in the park, when friends and visitors of their parents walk up to them to say hello? To them height is the inference and how to judge the person’s height accurately – is the paradox. Because until we add a dimension to the question, height and tallnes is still in the in paradox stage in the childs thinking. And we can also ask the question of how do you describe how far is down, to a child of ten, when he is standing on the ground? This too is a paradox until other dimensions are added. But a parable gives us both a paradox and the added dimensions which makes it in to a parable so that the mental thinking faculties of his grown up grandchildren can be used more productively, to arrive at the answer that their grandfather is wanting them to supply him for them selves.
Grandfather’s usually know how their grandchildren are likely to behave in these so called private and personal and serious chat sessions, so he then asks of his grown up grandchildren? “How about we tape this discussion, so that you can then take it home with you and do some more productive listening with it, and while your thinking of things extra, put pen to paper and write every thing that comes to mind, down, and bring it to me later on, o.k.” For this is a very good productive way that grandfathers use to avoid the usual onslaught of unproductive questions and answers and debates, that his grandchildren are very prone to doing in this situation.
