Meaningful Communication Is Rare

If we cannot communicate meaningfully, then evil has greater power. Evil is the opinions of ego, rather than empirical understanding of reality. Meaningful discussion is rare these days.

Ever been to a pantomime?
We live in one 🙂

In an old-fashioned pantomime, we see the antics of the main character and a villain. There are moments in the show when the villain shouts out something like, “There’s nothing behind me!” and the ritual response from the audience is, “Oh yes, there is!” We’re meant to get involved – and every day, the ‘media’ does the same thing.

Pantomime: from Greek pantomimos -‘imitator of all’. 

Dogma is the repetition of a set of beliefs, whereas meaningful conversations are an expression of empathy for what is actually taking place.
