I was doing some reading today and came across a sort of cat fight here on LJ. It's is amusing to me how some people discover something about themselves, something that works for them and then they think that everyone else with similar interests should apply their new found knowledge to their own lives. HMM or do they? That made me think more about communication and how we prefer to do it. It's my observation that one of the preferred methods of communicating something we are passionate about is to do so as sort of a bitch session. Is it possible that we do this to show our passion about something by attacking the opposing view? The same passion would still be in our hearts, our heads, our souls (ha if we still have one Sir lost his in a poker game), even if we merely stated how we felt about it. Could we provide enough details and positive thoughts on the subject to show how we felt about it if we didn't attack, didn't fight for it? Fighting for something that has a prize would be a worthwhile fight. Attacking something that we don't believe in is NOT to sway a reader or to actually change the opposing view it is to do the most wonderful thing of all, communicate. We fight for what we believe to try and put into words that warmness in our chests, the lump in our throat, the way we are feeling. Some of the happiest times in life were when l was able to put a feeling into words.
