Openness

It was a small group that started the private club.

They were seven likeminded people, five men and three women. They all agreed with the idea that they would create a regular time and place to gather. Their sole purpose was to ignore the usual restrictions people place on themselves in everyday society and enjoy conversations based on complete openness. Their goal was to cut through the tethers that others place on themselves and speak freely about anything they wanted to. They were creating for themselves a unique environment, where anything and everything could be discussed between them. On their initial get together, their mutually agreed upon complete openness of it was heart-lifting and positively therapeutic.

During the two hours that had been set aside for their weekly discussions, what was dealt with went way beyond the topics of politics, religion and personal finances. In fact, during that first meeting the use of social media, race, ethnicity, gender, medical problems, intimate relationships, family issues, therapy sessions, past crimes, and private fantasies were all covered.

By the end of the evening, after all members had spoken openly with no topics avoided and no holds barred, they all agreed on how much they looked forward to their next scheduled meeting.

What actually transpired over the following weeks couldn’t have been predicted by any of them.

Their first two meetings went really well.

It was at the third meeting tensions began to build, with bad feelings creeping in.

During the fourth time they came together, things became a great deal worse, with two threats of legal action being made.

It was at the fifth gathering that it was mutually agreed that all future gatherings be terminated!
