One of the practise of philosophy is to question and seek solution. In most cases, we answer our own question with what we felt is best. Then we throw the question out to the open. We try to lead people to adopt our solution because we already think it is the best. For those who agree with us, it would be nice and fine. It only shows that we are on the same key. For those who disagree, we continue to convince them. Eventually we conclude that they are on different wave length and give up. We fail to realise that in all thing that is always opposition. We continue to maintain our ivory tower with those who opose. It all started with the inability to maintain an unbias view because before throwing out the question out we already form our opinion. Pride is also another reason why we refuse to lose an argument. Good point Communist, I guess this is the blind side of philosophy. It is a good pointer that I need to look into.
