Lab Postcard 3
The Fruit of Dialogue
The third Lab video postcard "The Fruit of Dialogue" is based on an ancient Arabic parable, which highlights the need for sensibility and openness to dialogue towards others. Dialogue and openness to it, is the key to overcome misunderstandings that arise when one is not open to listen to or even interested in what the other is saying. In the parable it is a Sage who listens to all four men and understands that a simple grape is "The Fruit of Dialogue", called "angur", "inab", "uzum", "stafil"...
