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

The Wakefield Doctrine in twenty-five words or less:

The Wakefield Doctrine holds that everyone relates to the world in one of three characteristic ways. If we know the person’s relationship, we know them.

Well, that certainly was fun, wasn’t it?

Who said offering a fun and useful way to gain insight into the other person’s reality wouldn’t be fun?

Now, we understand that we would be hard-pressed to state the principles of our little theory of personality, but like writing a haiku* we sometimes have to make up words and such. (And, way like haikus (haikuess? haikae?!) The people who are attracted to systems of personality are those who have already spent an inordinate amount of their lifes trying to devise one. To make sense, ya know, of the way people are and act and such.

Since we’ve pulled so far ahead of our traditional ambition of presenting a brief, cogent description of a way to see the world, we’ll stay with the soul of wit and plug this week’s bloghops. Six Sentence Story (Wednesday evening) and the Unicorn Challenge  (Thursday late).

Damn! you know how it is, being a clark.

So, in response to Mimi‘s comment we offer:

as children we seek
to know what will make us real 
become the answer instead

*haiku motto: ‘You can write one. Yes. You. Can.. (Just count the syllables and be sure to have at least one incomplete thought).’
