ON DIALOGUE

"Only dialogue, which requires critical thinking, is capable of generating critical thinking. Without dialogue, there is no communication, and without communication, there can be no true education." Paulo Freire

Dr Muneja, headed for a dialogue

We live in a strange world. A world that is very fond on monologues. Usually monologues are used as tools to keep the the dominant culture in power. This is not true not only in verbal conversation but also in writing. So according to the quoted philosopher above, we need to open forums, symposiums and conferences where people can discuss matters freely and be ready to agree even in disagreement. Since humans perceive ideas differently. To perceive ideas differently does not necessarily mean my idea is right, and your idea is wrong.  It is interesting even in the Bible God is very fond of dialogue. That is the reason he cries, "let us come and argue together (Isa 1:18). He even came to live among humans so that he could discuss with us thing that concern our eternal destiny! So let us dialogue!
