Conversation is an exchange of thoughts that leave all parties to it a grain wiser. — Alfred Whitney Griswold

Conversation in its happiest development is a link, equally exquisite and adequate, between mind and mind, a system by which men approach one another with sympathy and enjoyment, a field for the finest amenities of civilization, for the keenest and most intelligent display of social activity. It is also our solace, our inspiration, and our most rational pleasure. It is a duty we owe to one another; it is our common debt to humanity. — Agnes Repplier

 

Choose to focus your time, energy and conversation around people who inspire you, support you and help you to grow you into your happiest, strongest, wisest self. — Karen Salmansohn

 

The true spirit of conversation consists in building on another man's observation, not overturning it. — Edward G Bulwer-Lytton

the Dualism world

Moral dualism simply implies that there are two moral opposites at work, independent of any interpretation of what might be "moral" and - unlike ditheism/bitheism - independent of how these may be represented -- Wikipedia source on 'Dualism'. Hypocrisy is an unconscious self-contradiction: a state of incongruence between one's professed beliefs and feelings and one's actual beliefs and feelings, or an application of a criticism to others that one does not apply to oneself. Hypocrisy is not simply a lie, saying something which one knows to be false. Neither is it simply failing to practice those virtues that one preaches -- Wikipedia source on 'Hypocrisy'. Let's see how many of us can get these :- It is possible for two statements to be correct at one time It is possible for two mutually conflicting statements to be correct at the same time. It is possible for two mutually conflicting statements to be correct at the same time and yet be d...

It's not "anarchy" as they say, it is a new order of Hierarchy

The clash of Anti-corruption against the Corrupt is becoming a clash of the Hierarchy-against- Anarchy at one of its fronts. There is a due logic on how this transforming is happening. the first observable point is that it is not Anarchy, but something of a euphemism to denote the desire to demolish the presently installed system of 'hierarchy'. Hierarchy in itself is a natural force which comes to existence on it's own in any organisation, whether the people like it or not. Indeed there is a legal-purpose hierarchy in the AAP too, no matter it claims to be a band of volunteers. Therefore the agenda of anti-corruption by AAP has the potential to demolish NOT what is Hierarchy BUT what is the *present* Hierarchy which has come into being in this climate of immense corruption. What kind of Hierarchy does a corrupt system bring up? Look at BJP which is continuously on an inward fight for leadership. It found it's peace in Nitin Gadkari who remains a prime accused in massi...

Semantics and the mental aptitude in the matters of law

It is in accordance with the flow of logic, the principles of natural justice and in all the democractic laws that the one who is presenting a claim has also to bear the burden to prove that claim. But there is a catch in this. Catch is that in our day today discourse, by a semantic turn of the statement- the language and the grammar- a 'claim' can be made to appear like a mere doubt, a suspicion or even simpler - a trivial cross-examination. The effect of this 'twisting' by usage of the Linguistic is that the 'burden of proof' appears shifted , away from the one who maybe challenging an evidence while appearing to be merely a doubting Thomas, or a cross-examining lawyer. In the field of Journalism, the news-men apply this effect of converting what may be an solemn legally valid evidence, into a 'claim' or an 'accusation', by presenting that news matter in the form of a doubt, or a suspicion. This, they can do under the cover of another valid...
