Me: "I feel kind of guilty watching my supervisor paint a sign while I'm sitting here watching baseball clips and eating a grilled cheese sandwich."
Steph: "Well, I'm thinking it's fair because you already did your half already."
Then Steph proceeds to point out the difference of values between hierarchy/authority verses fairness/casual, so that something that feels a bit wrong or uncomfortable to me is obvious and fine to her.
Cross cultural communication and values continues to blow my mind. Especially in these completely casual instances, the conflicting but natural reasoning from each of us show how deep our assumed values are.
