Talking Story in Hawai'i

Talking Story




In Hawaii there is a wonderful custom called ‘Talking Story’. When native Hawai’ians talk story, everyone is sincere. So there is no paranoia and no mistrust. It is understood that what anyone says may be incomplete or incorrect, but it is also understood that it is spoken honestly and sincerely.

Freedom

1) Of CHOICE
We, each, always have the freedom to decide that in this situation right now I ‘have no other choice’.

Such a decision is often motivated by love.

In the allegorical story of the Garden of Eden, in the Bible, Eve decided that at the moment of the serpent’s suggestion to taste of the forbidden fruit she had no other choice because she loved herself more than anything else at that moment.
