Starting conversation
It seems so much easier (especially on the web) to start an argument rather than a conversation. It seems that whatever point we raise or even question we ask, someone somewhere will want to not only disagree to, but want to argue with. We can not seem to just ask people for their opinions anymore because someone (especially within forums) will want to argue with it, is it so hard to accept that we are all different, we all think and feel different things, yet we do all think, and we do all feel. Have we forgotten those things we learnt as kids the first time we realised that our parents were wrong about something, that nobody is right all of the time, and nobody is wrong all of the time. Although learning it as a child was somewhat more interesting, going from thinking that the world was completely understandable and that we just didn’t have the knowledge or ability to understand it all yet, to understanding that the world was very complicated and full of contradictions. That realization that the people we trust do not know everything, that we will most likely never know everything, for some reason we found this shocking and some of us were even scared. We should have been excited, we should have known, that never being able to know everything means that there will always be something new to explore. It aught to stop us from being bored, it ort to engage us in conversation, to help each other find out what is real (not to fight to prove that we are right) and to enjoy the adventure along the way.
