Naturally, when a person defends ideas that may involve his whole purpose of existence, it is not always easy for him to stay good-natured. As someone has wittily remarked, "Of course there are two sides to every question, if we really are not interested in either of them" {Daily News, Greensboro, N. C, quoted from Reader's Digest, Jan., 1950). If one is keenly interested, dispassionateness is very, very difficult. It is the result both of will and of discipline. But unless one have it, one has no right to get into a discussion. This does not mean that you must keep smiling. At important points your mien and manner may be quite serious, and your voice may convey considerable feeling and intensity. |
