"Thinking in plaid"

A long time ago, I heard the following:

When a politician, especially one running for office gets asked, ’what is you favorite color?’ The best answer he can give is ‘plaid’. This keeps the folks who love red from feeling left out. Same thing holds true for green, blue, etc.

This makes a lot of sense; not wanting to step on anyone’s toes intentionally is a good idea. Especially for anyone who writes blogs, or publishes websites regardless of what part of the world you live in. Remember your audience of readers could be any race, religion, nationality, background, etc. ‘Writing in plaid’ just makes too much sense to not do it.

After realizing this, I took it one step further. This is ‘thinking in plaid’. Sort of like thinking ‘outside the box’ in a way. Again, regardless of who I am, or who you are, people are people. We get judged by the company we keep locally, and by the country we’re from internationally. The company we can change easy enough, but the country we’re a citizen of, not so easy.

I view the massive migration of people going on all over the world as perhaps the American Indians did centuries ago. Folks just naturally want to find a better life and be able to provide for their families, to have a better life, to get ahead, avoid oppression, and so forth. Not categorizing or judging anyone has had a calming effect in my life, and I’m sure it will do the same you. Go on, give it a try and see for yourself. Start ‘thinking in plaid’… ALL THE BEST!!!
And thanks for reading!
