Assertive sureness
FD
The way we approach speaking about the events happening around us is something.
People tend to be programmed to treat a certain set of beliefs as definite for the duration of their implemented framework.
To be content and comfortable with not knowing, not being sure of, is certainly a skill to master without falling into idiocy or nihilism.
There is something funny to the way we approach conversations in general - some people show a very ‘sure’ way of saying things, a primal instinct, part of the evolutionary set of codes, asserting dominance?
It seems like we’re programmed to make others feel that we’re sure and confidant - a survival mechanism - while we’re not sure about anything really. Is it to make the young feel at ease? the opposite sex stimulated? The audience attentive? is it the right method beyond the singular moment it exists in?
Even when we have casual or informal conversations with each other about external affairs, we speak in an assertive way, making points about something that we haven’t fully confirmed - survival mechanism again? The point to make here how passive should we be about convesations in general?
How passive are we when we speak day to day? It’s a big part of how people have convesations in general - and it’s so ridiculously funny sometimes when heard from an outside analytical perspective, especially if the ‘outsider’ has a general idea about the subject.

A feeling that is often an illusion masked by the instinct strongly attached to a cause, often much bigger than ourselves, something we’ve never been directly involved in beyond passive
For the people who humbly work and live outside the political realm - The understanding that they aren’t a dynamic part of the bigger picture - and likely not serving a direct part, is either a mean to surrender to authority, or to simply play their part. On the other hand, the reminder that we get from activists about the public’s power of choice, is for some reason forgotten.
To evolve beyond this primal instinct to be strongly attached in feeing and thinking about a cause, often much bigger than ourselves, that we have never been directly involved nor no all the facts and agendas beyond passive observations and speculations.
the way we’re sure about history and view of the current landscape of the world is dreadful. For the common person who humbly work and live outside the political realm, there is something fishy about what’s going on, I’m not sure that seeing this through the screen and the ‘word of mouth’ that we get is true.
Greed
In simple everyday life, when a mother tells her kid the right way of doing so and so, her approach is often with a clear tone and as if she’s sure that what she’s saying is 100 percent correct and has no other interpretation. A lecture projecting dominance to his students as it always is
the point to make here is how do we be sure of unsureness when we speak and write?
The tone of the employer to his employe, a friend to another, a parent to his child, the teacher to his student,
Most of us have strong instincts to give out advice fairly quickly when someone starts talking about an experience they have, when all we need to do is listen and show a sympathetic understanding presence.
