Communication

Philia Sophia 🧠 vs Philia Nikia ⚔️ The goal of any discussion or disagreement should always be more learning and understanding. Either to understand more about the topic at hand, or to understand the other persons perspective. Philia Sophia enables this, Philia Nikia does not. Always strive to approach each discussion from Philia Sophia. Deepened mutual understanding is constructive for everyone, whereas a temporary feeling of victory does nothing but inflate one’s ego.

🧠 Why “Show, Don’t Tell” Works (And What Your Brain Has to Do With It 👇) When you tell a reader what a character feels (“She was anxious”), their brain files it like a FACT.
