October 22, 2009Poison Phrase: Why do you insist on talking about it when you know it upsets me?
I enjoy the show Mad Men. A few weeks back, Betty’s father tried to talk with her about his affairs and funeral arrangements. She listened rigidly, and cut him off saying,
- Why do you insist on talking about it when you know it upsets me?
He responded by giving her his file. He died suddenly in the next episode.
Sometimes we need to talk about things that upset other people. Some boats need to be rocked.
