The older I get the more I understand this quote by Ben Franklin:
“Any society that would give up essential liberty to obtain a little security will deserve neither and lose both.”
they dont regard "democracy" as a process but as an outcome, specifically only an outcome they approve of
they dont use language to communicate but to manipulate
I wish more men realized strong communication skills is the foundation for a good relationship and look for that in a partner over more superficial traits like beauty, money, social status, etc.
It is so hard to be in a relationship when the conversation just dies because the other person doesn't know how to ask good questions and care about topics outside of their expertise
