It's nights like this when I want to have a relaxing deep conversation.
To think about things in a new light, learn something new.. and not by reading it. Conversation-- real conversation-- where two people can honestly respond without fear of being ridiculed or judged yet where one can also let their opinion be known in a blunt fashion... this is something missed. I have had the previlage of know some great people who can have these conversations yet, to my dismay, they are few and far between. Yes, I get hot headed sometimes and may not be the smartest apple in the barrel but I'm saying we should talk in a real way by honestly searching to understand where the other person is coming from; if you don't get it, keep trying... or take a break and try later.
Hush, hush issues, though hard to deal with, have a right to be talked about without people getting stirred up and "red faced." Being passionate about something does not mean forgetting ones logic thought and ethical behavior. More often than not, one hears what their friends say or others they have placed on a platform agree/disagree/slant/praise and turn around to regurgitate the same things; granted it may be synonyms not the exact words but it's still not their own.
Yes, this is a rant but on your own blog I feel it is somehow validated, despite the improper grammar.

ReplyDeleteThis is my problem with 'PC'. No one can just say what they mean anymore, because we are all so trained to be offended these days.
I appreciate your want for honest conversation, it's a very good quality.
