Welcome to the Wakefield Doctrine (the theory of clarks, scotts and rogers)

But wait!  Before you say, “hey clark  nice sentiment expressed in the blog title today, but would you be all so sanguine if you had:  a full time job that you can barely stand but the rent won’t pay itself, (or) a 2.99 GPA and if it’s not over 3.25 by the end of semester, no more tuition, (perhaps) 3 children still at home and 66.6% of them are running a fever, (maybe) a half-empty apartment because last week the boy of your dreams realized that he had to follow his dream except it involved someone who is not you, (no, wait! how about) parents who are both in need of constant care but don’t qualify for a nursing home, (you know), not a free minute in the day“, let me say, this is the Wakefield Doctrine and that means that you will find here, at this blog, among the Post and the Comments, something that will be usable and helpful and amusing and intriguing and distracting and encouraging, no matter what your personal circumstances today happen to be.

How can we say this?

Easy! We can say this because the Wakefield Doctrine is not:

• an Answer to all your Problems, like so many theories and approaches to Life and Ways to Manage your Kids or 10 Ways-to-A-Slimmer-and-Sexier-You-in-30-Days that all demand  you start everything over again and stop what you are doing and do what this ‘new’ Answer says you should
• an exact prescription for a happy and healthy Life because there is no such thing as a single description of anyone’s happy and healthy Life
• for them… the people in your life who you know that if-they-would-only-act-different-you-might-be-able-to-improve-your-life the Doctrine will do nothing for anyone who is not reading this thing for themselfs

So… look around today, with the perspective that is inherent in the Wakefield Doctrine you will see a way that you can improve your life today.

We can say this because the Wakefield Doctrine is:

• a way to look at the people in our lives and, just maybe…if we remember the characteristics of the three worldviews… we will be able to see the world as the other person is experiencing it
• a tool that you, as with a hammer, screwdriver or religious conviction, find ways to use today that will enlighten, amuse or depress us about Life, it’s potential and those annoying people who get in our way
• for you… the Doctrine will allow you see the people in your life in a way that you haven’t ever before and, while this will not change who they are or what they do or even what you do, it will help you know more about the other person than you would have if you didn’t have the Doctrine as an (additional) perspective

so get out there and soothe them breastses!!

wait!!! Sarah asked about rogers and clarks and bullet points and such… hey Sarah thanks for asking! unfortunately have used up all my bullet points for today, but I will say this,

rogers believe in a quantifiable universe and they know that there is A Right Way (and) A Wrong Way and,  if you ask a clark, ‘hey whats 2 + 2 equal?  a clark might answer, ‘under what circumstances?’…. the distant scream you would hear would, in fact, be the sound of all nearby rogers ripping their hair out

…starting to get to the idea?

Three songs to vote on:

1) frickin William Congreve!  not only did I think that this famous quote ( “music has charms to soothe the savage breast”) was Shakespeare, but according to our friends at wikipedia, he also wrote the line, “no hell a fury like a woman scorned”  which, with any luck we will dodge in today’s Post. ‘spect it will come down to which music video I decide to use
