Getting It

My concern is growing each time I hear the phrase "they don't get it." I hear it at school, at work, sometimes even on my own lips at home or out with friends. Not only is "getting it" incredibly ambiguous, it is even more divisive. It separates us from them. And it pretty much says that they are stupid. I don't hear people saying "we don't get it." We could say "they don't get it" with compassion, yet I almost exclusively hear it spoken in judgment and with arrogance. I don't get it.
