Are You Stuck?

A man was being held up at a Burger King.  The person at the counter told him, "Sir, I am sorry but I cannot open the register without an order." "Ok, so give me some onion rings." "I am afraid that we do not have onion rings until after 1  PM." The stick up man got frustrated and walked out. - told by Rev King Duncan The problem was the would-be thief had no other response.  He was stuck, unable to counter the objections of the man at the register. Question: To what degree are we programmed and incapable of going out side our "comfort zone" to listen to diverse opinions?

Unstuck

"Teach me, dear God, 
 to make a fresh start; 
 to break yesterday's patterns; 
 to stop telling myself 
 I can't— 
 when I can, 
 I'm not— 
 when I am, 
 I'm stuck— 
 when I'm eminently free."
