Making observations that spark off self-reflection in the recipient, on the other hand, is akin to a treasure hunt. You drop clues and let the recipient find the answers to the questions most important to them.
Upon reflection, runs parallel to what I posted today about the Complementary Law of systems: how two descriptions of the same system (you, as a person, in this case) tend to contradict each other somewhere; your self-description does not need to be compatible with how others describe you.
This falls neatly into the hidden area and blind area referenced here, with the mutually unknown corner being the mysterious story that just might be able to reconcile them... or lead to yet more confusion!
Loved this anology:
