Wrapping up an otherwise interesting story with pseudo “3rd” mystique was a disappointment.
Dolly gently connects people through common human emotions/needs. Kindness is her secret superpower.

This vid was pretty interesting till 5:37. Then it just got too american. I don’t know who “Dolly” is, I’m not interested in her and I don’t think she’s the solution to anything.

Then you missed the most important part of the video, keep watching and you’ll understand why Jad did an entire series on her

Wondering why you felt to make the remark “JUST GOT TOO AMERICAN.” So I guess if it were about Mexico, France or New Zeland that would be different and better for you.
And regarding your comment about not knowing who Dolly is Well She’s done much for her community and she has the imagination library where she provides free books for Any child Anywhere in the world. She has a ton of charities. She had a big heart and doesnt spend her time bashing others and trying to divide us as a country like so many in Hollywood and Music Industry. She doesn’t spend her time on spreading hate and being angry but instead she has a message of love. She’s done a lot for others and her music weaves a beautiful tapestry of life in the country which is part of our heritage in this country. It helps to see beyond the stereotypes that have been developed over time about country people in the south. She’s a wonderful story teller. Theres more but I’m sure you’re not interested. Not ashamed of my country. Both parents were immigrants and have done well as well as my relatives. Proud to be an American. Sorry you felt the need to be offened by it “being too American. Smh childish.

As a journalist, your job is not to be a “storyteller”. Your job is to _report_ as objectively as possible; you know, like in “reporter”. Please leave the storytelling to the makers of *_fiction,_* because that’s what “stories” are. As a journalist, please stick to the objective *truth.* I know people have lost focus of _facts_ at the moment, but it is _your_ duty as a journalist to bring it *back.*

@momocapicino yeah well that person- commenter is part of the problem we are seeing in this country. They no longer can think abstractly… Only black and white terms. Hope I dont get flagged for saying “black and white.”

Wow. I like to think of the “third thing,” and have for years. I use it in reference to romantic relationships mostly. You can actually see it in good relationships. It is nearly palpable. It is not exactly the sum of the two. It feels energetic mostly. I love the idea of extending this to all meaningful relationships.

when I was 18 I wanted to be a storyteller. I wanted to travel the world, listen to people’s stories, listen to people from this part of the world, and re-tell it to people from another part. because I had always seen the cultural, societal, economic, and class differences I just knew that bridging those differences would be more beneficial to us all. a few years went by, I got into college and got some wrong ideas about the way society works (power and stuff) and could not manage to connect to what I do at all because of that. I had to retreat and reflect everything until now. I strongly resonate with this talk. Thank you for sharing your ideas.

If you try to bring people together in your journalism, you will be rare. Today’s mainstream media is focused on the horse race and “gotcha” stories that showcases our differences.

I think your third space might be found in Tao. From T. Freke: our opinions obscure our natural intuitive knowing. only when we fully acknowledge that we really do not know anything, are we empty enough to be filled with Tao. Only when we understand that we cannot possibly understand will we finally understand.

I believe that is THE biggest problem with the Media/Social Networks today: they all focus on the “sides” and not on what we have in the “middle”. That thing that ultimatelly connects us to the issue and what we can build beyond it.
That’s why I hate debates, opinion speakers, commentators, etc… No one talks about how to resolve anything WITH the other. Its all about: “This is the way I WOULD do it. The ONLY way it must be done. And the other side is always WRONG… I hate it. I avoid it. I am one of those kind of people the internet just HATES: a Moderate. I try (enphases on TRY) to see both sides and find ways to connect with both, reaching a result. And reaching a result in the ENTIRE POINT OF EVEN HAVING A DISCUTION.
Too bad nowadays no one wants a result, people wanna be right. And they want a WIN… Not a solution.
