Yeah. You know what happens? Its like parents constantly telling their
kids
what to do. Kids hate it. Never listen. Then someone else comes along and
says the same thing in a different manner and the kids listen.
You just manage to bore people out of listening to you.
Hmm... an interesting point. It kind of reminds me of school. ``Nearly"
everybody considers history to be a boring subject and study it only for the
sake of doing so. The truth is history is one of the most important subjects
as it teaches you to appreciate the glories of the past and makes you aware
of the mistakes made and urges you not to repeat them.
Well its no great secret that majority of the people find philosphy and
ethics boring and making them understand is no easy task. For a simple
reason people just don't care. An idea can only be ``sold" to most of them
if they are convinced of practical benefit, this is too a fact.
Therefore, where is the problem - is it me lacking communication skills or
people with a ``don't care" attitude?
A ``don't care" is NOT beneficial for anyone, not the country, not the
world, not even the people who have it. The only way to change that is by
conveying things in a manner in which they would pay attention. Was i too
harsh on a newbie to our list? Probably yes, but he would eventually face
that for some issue or the other anyway, that happenes to all of us. Would
he simply abandon the system because i was harsh, that would => EXTREME
OVERREACTION.
