"私たちは話し合わずお互いに新聞雑誌ダイジェストからのうわべだけの情報や理論で攻撃し合います"
— Henry Miller
Simplified Meaning:
People often don't really communicate with each other; instead, they throw around bits of information they've quickly read in articles or magazines. Imagine two friends arguing about politics. Instead of having a thoughtful conversation, they just repeat headlines or snippets they've seen online, without really understanding them. This turns the discussion into a battle of who can shout the loudest, rather than a meaningful exchange where both sides listen and learn. It's like they are using these bits of information as weapons, instead of tools to build understanding. To have better conversations, people should take the time to really understand topics and listen to each other's perspectives. This way, discussions can be more like building bridges rather than fights.
