Debate is an important tool to expand your knowledge and identify flaws in your own thinking. It can also be used to expose the motives of others we interact with in order to avoid being led astray.

Things we avoid or get too busy to do can take a toll on our well being. We all need to take time to evaluate where we're headed, and make changes when necessary.

In trying to please others we can often be tricked into going along with things we don't actually believe. Being honest can renew us and help us to not feel trapped.

Gossip is usually spread out of jealousy, or to protect a power structure. Whether it's in our personal life, or in deciding where we stand with a public figure, it's best not to be swept away with any tide of language motivated by a hidden agenda.

When someone is being publicly judged for something, the reasons that motivate the accusers are just as important as the accusation itself.

Sometimes when you repress things you risk stitching together a Frankenstein monster of your own creation.

The audience is just as important as the performance on stage. If you can learn to study the crowd you can avoid being swept away by it.

When you start to understand your uniqueness and individuality, then you can find your voice in the world.
