Putting aside the Hidden Selfishness and Arrogance Manifested in Communication

Every culture has its own ideas of how much someone should talk. I think to some extent it is possible to say that in a number of certain cultures it is a given that over-speaking is not cool. In fact, it is not healthy. Weird? But let us think of it this way...why are you dominating the conversation in the first place?  Why don't you listen as much so you can learn something? Basically, it is important to put aside hidden selfishness and arrogance when it comes to communication and be as generous with speaking as well as listening. Let us strive to have healthy communication and just like physical health it does take exercising before you get the muscles  of healthy communication.

Justice here and there

It is sometimes easy to remain focused on maintaining justice in issues that only directly affect you and your loved ones. Of course, it has been the norm of humans for years and look where we are?....Not much done really in terms of justice on a whole lot of manners because we sometimes embrace selfishness. We need to break out of that shell and be altruistic even when it comes to justice.
