Wu and Wen; Fostering the Skill of Discussion–Scholar Sage

A timely article, for me. I really admire the communicative ability of the Goat. Metal Dragon & co. aren’t eloquent here; however, I can try another way and see how that goes.

Scholar Sage–Discussion Skill

“What does it all mean, then?

Ultimately, if one person is struggling with a certain problem, say the fear of asking questions or engaging in discussions, others will be struggling with it too. It was only recently that a few friends of mine helped me to understand that discussing a topic was so fundamentally important and I wanted to share that knowledge with all of you.

It is my goal therefore to try and engage in discussions over the whole spectrum of topics that make up the Daoist arts (and anything else I ever wish to learn about) with people so that I may better understand the subject and so they can too. … It really doesn’t matter: all that matters is that we … refine the skill of discussion until discussion of such things becomes a habit ingrained within our lives. It is only then that we can truly begin to delve deep into these arts and help one another.”
