Jesus our Philosopher: The Mechanics of Our Conversations
ZA Jiane
Conclusion
Can we hold the discussion to understand what we have heard?
We need to dissect the conversation and identify the tangles present there because of ambiguities, confusion, and impatience.
A good conversation involves dedicated efforts. Unlike most discussions where the participants are trying to prove themselves right, a healthy conversation eliminates the aspects of prejudice, fears, and prior knowledge.
A good conversation is subjective, and everyone perceives it coherently.
Therefore, it is said that a good conversation is an achievement.
The art of leading a good conversation without stumbling won’t happen by chance. Instead, it involves pre-planning of objectives and insight to achieve them.
We must agree to hold on to the conversation and entangle the ambiguities.
Jesus was the reflection of Adam. He was sent to us after Adam was unable to convince the people with the message of God.
Jesus was also assessed in the same way by the Department of Temptation, just as Adam.
However, his struggles were much worse, but he decided to stand firm, and therefore, he conveyed the message of God to the masses.
Our existence is not unique. Instead, we are the reflection of the past.
The temptation, miseries, and happiness we experience have been there in this world since forever.
If we want to live an exemplary life, then learning from the past can significantly help.
Humans should emphasize living a life that entails simplicity. The glam and glitz of the world might appear pleasing, but it confides us in the state of constant competition.
While we may believe that people are rational, it turns out that it’s not always true.
Active listening with the intention of learning prospects wholesome conversation that deviates us from our falsified perspective and ideas.
To assess any argument is complex that most of us anticipate. Therefore, fewer people take up this job that invests most of their energy in listening and being careful with their responses.
The haste to respond and to pause in discussion disrespects our communication peers and us.
Taking the time to observe the situation before making a statement is challenging in the age of social media.
You are expected to share your feedback in split seconds to mark your presence on the platform since the posts disappear and new ones appear real-time.
Therefore, we blame social media for encouraging meaningless conversations instead of promoting healthy discussion.
Identify the importance of discussions that are shared with you. Emphasis on the immediate problems that you have read and heard.
Don’t jump to a conclusion. It is easier to call someone lazy. However, there are several underlying reasons behind it.
If a child from a young age has never been encouraged to complete a project from their parents, then there is a possibility that he will assume that it’s fine to skip onto things and leave them unfinished.
In case scenarios, the responsibility lies on the parents, who should ensure that their child is motivated and completed the due work on time.
Since the real world doesn’t function the same as their little bubble, sometimes people tend to lose track and become lazy.
Parents, in this case, should be held responsible for overlooking their child in the nurturing years. However, we can’t deny the fact that an adult should now look into the matters themselves.
The idea of learning and unlearning is not age-restricted. If they are an adult, then they must know the importance of discipline and respectability in life.
A society prospers when everyone contributes to it positively.
Unwilling to be productive entails overlooking children.
However, the third eye to this matter is still required since it needs more understanding and charitable behavior. Making a judgment without assessing every aspect shows immaturity and lack of understanding.
Crime fuels instability and anguish among societies. Justice and right prosecution should be a priority for systems. However, we should dig deeper to find the reason for such heinous acts.
Our past holds a history. We can’t discount the fact that some criminals have seen the worst days of life since a young age. An alcoholic father or an abusive mother could lead children to pursue the crime.
As much as we agree, they are entirely responsible for their actions; a retro scope on such cases should be encouraged.
Bible encourages us to work 6 six days a week and relax on the seventh. Once we fulfill our obligatory duties at work and home, our essential issues will be taken care of.
Hard work and Biblical Child Rearing are a long-term solution for a stable society.
In this world, where everyone is chasing quick reassurance, we need to understand the importance of hard work.
People would instead go for quick money-making schemes and crime-fighting programs instead of working hard.
However, it is to remember that our happiness lies in seed form, and the devil lives in the detail.
“The government of the people is upon his shoulders.”
“For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given; and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.” Isaiah 9:6
Let’s pledge to foster families faithful to God and willing to leave healthy imprints on this world.
Our truest efforts will eliminate crimes such as stealing, robbery in the long term.
Jesus sacrificed his life in the burning bush. He did not command us to memorize his lessons. Instead, he encouraged us to live on the commands.
He asked us to be good humans for the fear and love of God.
Obstrain every crime that is dangerous for the world and bows down for the love of God.
He encourages us to love our neighbors as much as we love ourselves.
His message was simple. He did not intend to complicated matters. However, in simplicity, our joy lies.
When we say the devil lies in the detail, we try to scratch the literal message for hidden meanings.
Whereas the law of God is simple and avoids mystery.
While we are in a conversation, it is essential to let the other person finish. Listen to them actively, and before giving feedback, make sure there’s a quality assurance of your statement.
In case of any ambiguity, ask the speaker again for clarity instead of creating assumptions.
This is how a healthy conversation is led: No rush, no halfway conclusions.
Review – Your response over something you have heard for days, minutes, and hours. It can be responded to afterward only.
Feedback – Share your opinion with your peer for reflection and discussion. It opens a new door of knowledge.
Rephrase– Let the other person clarify themselves for better understanding
