This is absolutely true. Being a free thinker, being a free, expressive thinker, you will always offend someone. It's it's impossible to make make everyone happy or expect everyone to be in agreement with what you said. Because as a free thinker, as an expanded thinker, we just think outside of the box. We really have a kaleidoscope way of viewing things. And it's almost as if we're designed to challenge the collective way of thinking in the box

I feel like you're making me realize that the need to express is more important sometimes than the need to convert or to persuade. Because in that grit and raw expression comes bits of your soul as opposed to your brain wrapping around some clever way of saying something because you want everyone to understand
But if we're talking about someone with a more philosophical input in their sharing, in order for someone to fully 100% get what another free thinker is saying, or someone not be a free thinker to really grasp and really just say, okay, it's either one, they're curious enough, as I said before, they're curious enough to say, okay, let me see what this is about

Hey. And then that brings up the question of when someone knows you too much and they fill in the gaps with their own expectations of what you're going to say. They always start hearing things that you didn't say because they've already boxed you. And there's a person that would say that. It's so interesting
I'm actually teaching on this subject. I'm teaching a class called Conversational Intelligence, and I've been teaching it this fall because it's such a goldmine of information excuse me, to be able to understand just how powerful and that's become such a cliche term. What you say is powerful. Be careful what you say. But there is 100% actuality to that. But even before what we say, there is what we think

I find this synthesis and Deborah, I find this entire swell ex just extremely fascinating, just by way of, you know, sort of quick context. I am a combination of lecturer, preacher, proclaimer, public speaker, motivational speaker, just a gambit of different, really sort of descriptions of context of when I'm called upon to share, whether it be liturgical or whether it be motivational or educational discussions or lectures to young people, to emerging adults and things like that, just all throughout my state
People have that view because of their influences and at the end of those influences is what we are choosing to believe about those influences. So with that, once I realized that, it became easier for me, right? And then I stumbled upon the whole field of philosophy and then I came across the Socratic method

It. Thank you so much for your response synthesis. I find it interesting crystal that you mentioned this almost an insinuation that when we expand or when an individual is given to expansion that it is their attempt to get a person to think how they think. And I've learned to and again just through therapy and all that kind of stuff and conversations like this to understand it quite differently
Thanks to the reply. Yeah. Persuasion is just one of the aspects of the Socratic method. The Socratic method is also intended to help to expand expand the mind of the communicator by helping them to understand why it is that they are thinking the way in which they are thinking. Because again, our thoughts are how do I say this? They are so automatic that most tend to not pause to understand why they think what it is that they think

Your initiation of this conversation, even with the caption Just be right, that just being comes with a responsibility to strive to become better in some sense, right? Or as you stated, to quote, you responsible with the tools that you acquire along the way, the idea that we have to include coherent use of argumentative tool, socratic method or otherwise, and even our ability to persuade other people to understand things differently regardless of the context
Hello, Crystal. First of all, a really great topic that you have spoken about. It's very true that, you know, we cannot make everybody happy and we cannot always be thinking about others feelings or others thoughts before we take our actions and all of that. But it's also about self awareness, like how you told about how much we speak, what we speak and in what situation and the way we're telling it
However, when you look at Virology, you recognize that we are past the stage of containment. Now, am I saying that we should be running around spreading covet? Of course not. What I'm saying is it is no longer able to contain covet like we are past that stage. So if you're going to come into contact with people who have covet unknowingly, everyone's going to get exposed. So your mask wearing loses efficacy if more people in the population have it
