Deconstruction and Fundamentalism At Sea with Justin McRoberts

    • Philosophy

I just got off the phone with a long-time friend who is now a coaching client.

It's the call I needed in order to finish this script.

This beloved friend began the conversation with the nearly universal phrase: "I feel like I'm always in the middle."

And I get that.

Even though I disagree a bit.

I don't think he's in the "middle," per se; I think he's trapped in a relationship with people who hold somewhat opposing perspectives (political, social, theological) and hold those perspectives more tightly and more dearly than they do the people around them.
