Δαφνη Ευτυχια Αρθουρος

"That's why talking is useless so much of the time. It seems logical that the truth would be self-evident, but the truth is as soapy and slippery as any other non-mathematical concept. How are you going to convince someone that their thought processes are being affected by forces and motivations that they can't see or admit when their answers make sense to them?

"You can't. Sometimes, it's just leaving little supply caches of alternate philosophies for them to think about when they hit the end of the line. And they may never get there."

Bonus quote today, from wolfieboy in response: "I agree that many times we don't really know what we're talking about in terms of ourselves but it's only in talking with others that we can find out where our thoughts and perceptions are awry. Sure, we might not know what we're talking about but it's a voyage of discovery and if we're willing to admit to being wrong or at least admit, "I hadn't thought of it that way", possibly we can come to new truths."
