What
dialogue is not? & what dialogue is?
My take
My take
Pradeep
What dialogue
is not?
- Dialogue is not a casual conversation.
- Dialogue is not psychological counseling or psychotherapy, where you unload your burden of life to the professional in front of you and seek advice.
- Dialogue is not a soliloquy or a monologue, where you share your past experiences or future plans unhindered.
- Dialogue is not about showing off your knowledge, book or otherwise.
- Dialogue is not about indulging in arguments, trying to dominate one another or trying to be the star of the morning or afternoon or evening.
- Dialogue is not about talking things from a safe distance and forever avoiding one’s own daily life and responsibility.
- Dialogue is not about exchanging opinions on politics, films, business, religions or societal trends.
- Dialogue is not about transferring of information and knowledge from one to another.
- Dialogue is not to let a word pass by without feeling it fully.
- Dialogue is not rushing through something to get at somewhere.
- Dialogue is not a forward, expansive movement.
- Dialogue doesn’t start with a pre-conceived plan of action.
What dialogue
is?
- Dialogue is a process that attempts to explore our psychological realm and get at the facts in a collaborative manner.
- Dialogue is an attempt to understand the workings of one’s mind, where friends try to help each other in understanding.
- Day to day problems form the basis of dialogue as there is a disenchantment with the established approaches.
- Dialogue is an attempt to discover the truth of one’s own problems, one’s own suffering.
- Dialogue is speaking what you completely feel, which involves being serious.
- Dialogue neither begins with an assumption nor does it stop with a conclusion, in fact it questions the very assumptions we hold and the very conclusions we form.
- Dialogue is a movement involving the peeling of inward layers in the attempt to get to the core facts of one’s existence.
- Dialogue is being totally objective - even about one’s own subjectivity.
