This article made me think about how we often view family gatherings as a performance. We put on our 'happy faces' and try to play the roles we think are expected of us. But what if we approached these gatherings with a sense of curiosity and openness, like an anthropologist observing a fascinating culture? Instead of judging or resisting, we could simply observe the dynamics at play, and maybe even learn something new about ourselves and our loved ones.
Love this perspective Alexander! And yes be a curious scientist and explore with a discovery mindset to understand what's going on.
It's a better way to choose your response instead of react in the moment which might lead to regrets.
