I think we are taking rigid and even stubborn positions to defend
our 'opinions and/or assumptions' re our
point of view on culture, politics, or simply, what to eat/drink/ wear . We consider
our opinions the ultimate 'truth' . Sometimes,
we associate our 'identities' with our 'opinions' and if they are challenged, we feel 'inferior, embarrassed and
ashamed' and go into endless circles of
debates. We mobilize our friends to find counter arguments to create a win-lose
situation. We try to win and feel our opponent 'defeated' and 'stupid'. And the discussion
ends with purposeless self-joy and entrancement or shamefulness for our opponents
or the vice-versa.
I don't argue that discourse, discussion and debate are not
useful 'a la' situations. I wish we come
out of the debating mode and initiate a purposeful 'dialogue' among ourselves
to reach a shared meaning of oneness and
unity.
