where to put people
We often like to "put people in their place" since we honestly don't want them to be "out of place". It's for their own good, right? We care about them and simply don't want them in the wrong place. The problem is that putting people properly in their place is dependent upon us knowing where people's proper places are. How can we be absolutely sure that we are putting people in the right place? What if we are putting them in a place where they will get lost or hurt?
The Wise Turtle believes that the only way to know where to put people is to ask them where they would like to be, and then help them find a way to get there. They may only have a vague sense of where they want to be, but they pretty much always have at least some idea. And once they get near the place they belong, they will be able to see very clearly exactly where they need to go.
And because it's important to care about ourselves as well as others, we also might want to ask ourselves what place we might like to be in, and then ask others to help us get there!
