OPINION: 'Without intending to do so we'd found some common ground, just enough to lift the curtain of distrust that otherwise likely would have separated us,' writes Oro Valley resident Rick Rappaport.
The other day I was driving behind a pickup truck with two U.S. flags flying beautifully from each bed corner.
As it turned out, that truck seemed to be headed in the same direction as I was, so I was behind it the entire way to a public golf course. The parking lot was pretty full, so we ended up pretty much right next to each other. The pickup driver and I got out at about the same time and started getting our gear ready, side by side. We entered the clubhouse one after the other and found out we were playing in the same group.
Still, I hesitated about engaging much in conversation because I wasn’t flying flags from my car and he was. Right then, that seemed like an unscalable chasm between us. Would our paths have crossed if not for this round of golfing? Who knows, but surely we wouldn’t have been walking around together for four hours talking that small talk which humanized our short time together. Without intending to do so we’d found some common ground, just enough to lift the curtain of distrust that otherwise likely would have separated us.
