Like humanity projects its psychology to interpret consciousness in the universe, the individual projects his psychology to interpret his relationships.

This creates expectations.

And a lot of disappointments.

Expectations means that people do not listen to what someone says, but listen to find out what a person might say. And the judgement already exists even before they have started to listen, for it is already decided if they will agree.

People judge, they do not listen.

Listening does not mean agreeing, it does not mean disagreeing, it means that all attention is turned toward the speaker, therefore no judgement takes place.

People do not listen, They are in a state of expectation.

So they sort things out using what they already expected as a yardstick.

The responsibility of a conversation always falls on the shoulders of the listener.

Some will argue, NO, No, no... it also depends on the qualities of the speaker.

No matter what the qualities of the speaker are, if there is no ear for his words, there is no conversation. And, if the listener is engaged by the abilities, rather than by the information, he is looking forward to a show. He wants to be impressed. He wants to feel power. He wants to feel an agreement. He wants to be nourished.

So, he expects a performance. He is not neutral, he wants to be satisfied.

Reality cannot please the ego. Real information is never pleasant to the ego. Because it has to come from a field that is outside of his mentality. Otherwise, the ego would have had all the answers a long time ago, if reality was within his field of mentation.

The ego can only be shocked and his expectations dissolved when faced with reality.

Until that time when he can no longer be disappointed, or surprised, or impressed.

Expectation is driven by a need to be fed with something to believe. Reality is the imposition of something that is unbelievable.

The thread asks for peoples views on the interview. And thats what the thread is ....peoples views on the interview. Ego -mongering aside, there is such a thing as intuition, gut reaction, those are individual responses, and valid to the thread topic.
