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.
