Warmth and Truth

I just got this thought in my inbox today and it gave me my dose of growth for the day. Hope it does for you too.

“Thai communication and interaction can be easily summed up in one word: warmth. Thais do not tell the truth and they do not seek the truth for it is not relevant to the speaker or the listener. Communication and interaction between Thai people is not about advancing knowledge and understanding...it is about sharing that fuzzy feeling called warmth. Thai people couldn't care less if they are listening to a lie so long as they are feeling warm. In fact they laugh at farangs' constant quest to find the truth. In Thailand seeking the truth is a futile pursuit.”


FARANG is the thai word for foreigner. We are farangs here and so would be you if you're not thai.
