“Discussion is impossible with someone who claims not to seek the truth, but already to possess it.” - Romain Rolland

Decryption of quote

Discussion is like a dance between minds, a graceful exchange of ideas and perspectives. It is a beautiful art form that requires openness, curiosity, and a genuine desire to learn and grow. When two individuals come together to engage in a discussion, they are embarking on a journey of exploration and discovery.

However, this dance can quickly turn into a stumbling block when one party believes they have all the answers. When someone claims to already possess the truth, they close themselves off to new possibilities and perspectives. They become rigid and closed-minded, unwilling to consider alternative viewpoints.

It is in this closed state that true discussion becomes impossible. How can a meaningful exchange take place when one party is not open to the possibility of learning and growing? How can new ideas be explored and understood when one party believes they already have all the answers?

True discussion requires humility and a willingness to admit that we don't have all the answers. It requires a recognition that the truth is a journey, not a destination. When we approach discussions with an open mind and a humble heart, we create the space for meaningful dialogue and growth.

On the other hand, when we claim to already possess the truth, we shut down the possibility of growth and understanding. We become stagnant and closed off, unable to see beyond our own limited perspective. We miss out on the opportunity to learn from others and expand our own understanding.

So let us approach discussions with an open mind and a humble heart, ready to learn and grow. Let us embrace the beauty of the dance of ideas, knowing that true understanding comes from a place of openness and curiosity. Let us seek the truth together, knowing that it is a journey we embark on together, not a destination we have already reached.
