true for those who can distinguish :) I agree it is misunderstood nd confused with sophistry. Strangely we dont course correcr but thw misunderstandings can possibly grow through a lifetime, possibly centuries. Philosophy has built us but we break it down into useless things . Thanks for expanding my horizon. Reply

First i was a timid Man Friday. Then a dominant Project Head. Then a judgemental and paranoid professional for 2 years , it was too much and i receded. I practiced a different approach and for consistency i wrote this as a reminder last December. It allows me to be objective about content and not slip into judging the author. It has become fashionable to mix up the random elements of philosophy with systemic professionalism in objectives of collective responsibility. Too heavy words here, but to simplify , for the sake of content we make a lot of silly stuff and never quite understand the real meaning of things we write, specially the commercialised silly avatars and brands of words originating from India. It is pointless to take offence, it is better to devise something to avoid the pitfalls. I do not know about you, but this has worked for me for a whole year now, specially when surrounded by commercialised Godmen and philosophers of all religions, a majority being fraudulent with police cases.

I'm always philosophical about philosophy, Devesh. 🤣 Reply

Metaphors yield their own philosophy. Prudence is in focusing on oneself rather than subjecting another to judgement and labelling. Reply

Hi Devesh Bhatt, I chose the words "Judge and critique," from your poem. There is nothing wrong with 'stripping down the double talk," as you put it. Reply

Lisa \ud83d\udc1d Gallagher... Please feel free to judge or critique. This is.more an outcome of introspection...i have repeatedly picked up words and judged/critiqued people on the basis of philosophy, in a country where almost everyone is a philosopher. Philosophy blends into the normal like its doing on social media. I wasnt the one being judged, but the one stripping down the double talk...made for an inconsistent timeline in my career. Reply
