It seems to me that delusion has an intricate part to play in mental illness. If this is not delusional, then, the less delusional, or more factual or accurate we are, the healthier, in our own mind we are going to be...maybe. Is it possible that the more surety we are continually seeking, the less... Continue Reading →
Making Sure We’re Making Sure
For the last 100,000 years people have been in the information era. Since we began to converse and share information with each other we have been assessing or making sure of the information's integrity. Making sure of its accuracy, consistency and that we are ultimately understanding it. If this is true and we agree with... Continue Reading →
What is the difference between objecting and complaining?
I am unsure but think it could be a very important question to answer. For example I think that maybe objecting is more about pausing a moment in time and stepping out of the situation whereas complaining we still remain “inside” the situation. Objecting can make us more detached, maybe. Of course the example is... Continue Reading →
Question My Sincerity
Imagine if we all agreed that we can openly question each other's sincerity? Well, believe it or not, but that is what I think we were born to do and what the best of our friends do for us and we do for them. To me, this is the basis of what conversation is for... Continue Reading →
The Art of Conversation Master Class
I believe that the underlying purpose of conversation is for practicing. Practicing what you may ask?

Conscious Conversation
So, imagine if we knew the real reason for conversation and then used it more consciously rather than getting the fewer benefits subconsciously? Just like we are now more aware of why we eat and what we should eat means we can stop eating junk (if we want to) and eat more nutritious meals. We... Continue Reading →
Born to Assess
So, what is conversation really for or one of the main reasons? I say conversation is for assessing. Assessing the sincerity of the person and the accuracy that they report any information. That is, also assessing ourselves and our own information during this process. Of course it should be enjoyable and it should kill time... Continue Reading →
Agreeable Apology
Imagine if we had an agreement to apologize when we got angry, ignored the other, lied or made a false accusation. Not only an apology but an agreeable apology. One where the receiver would need to agree to the apology offered before it was accepted. This would revolutionize a relationship, in my view. In... Continue Reading →
