It seems that nowadays most individuals feel an unstoppable compulsion towards expressing their ideas and opinions at all costs, all the time. They simply have to speak even if what they say is neither original nor interesting. They feel the necessity to rebut what someone else is saying. There is this irrepressible need to rant, to chatter, to try to convince another or prove one's point. A favorite trendy 'sport' is to discuss any subject, independently from its importance. It doesn't matter if it is a dramatic ecological disaster or a film star's latest romance. Comments, criticism, judgments on people, communities, nations, religions, social and political situations are uttered non-stop, even without a true knowledge of the actual facts. What about personal, inner introspection?
