Can this be justified?

Can be calling people "fools" justified if it's true and the effect is for their benefit?

And not calling them this way, does not make enough aware?

Why call anyone anything? what is the point? I say let everyone be who they are - if they are not happy with themselves, they will change.

When you begin to call someone a name such as a "fool" that is really only your perception and you are making a "judgement" in other words, it is not your business.

Do you like to paint? or have some other hobby that you have an interest in?

"Why call anyone anything? what is the point? I say let everyone be who they are - if they are not happy with themselves, they will change. "

Calling someone as a fool makes them look at themselves. Makes them look at the real source of a problem.

We can let people stay as they are. But this is dead end. Why? Because anyone in any society is responsible to it. Without that society any person is doomed to death. If a person ignores this responsibility, they are just parasites. Which should not be allowed. This is surely means end to any society whenever the amount of such people becomes critically high.

Freedom? For what cost?

"When you begin to call someone a name such as a "fool" that is really only your perception and you are making a "judgement" in other words, it is not your business."

This is perfectly makes people irresponsible. Aye?

so you believe that if you notice someone to be a "fool" you need to tell them and then they will change? I personally feel that a person will only change if they themself want to....they are not going to care what you think of them for it is only your perception.

Haffo, it is not your job to make people responsible, your job is to be the BEST Haffo. Others learn by your actions. BE the change you want to see happen.

Just have fun being a Haffo and don't worry so much!

Happy Valentine's day to YOU!

"so you believe that if you notice someone to be a "fool" you need to tell them and then they will change? I personally feel that a person will only change if they themself want to...."

well nobody would think of themselves as fools! yes ppl only change if they themselves want to!but first they need to be aware that there is smt wrong they do which needs to be changed!they might not care what you say but it will make them think and question if you are giving your genuine opinion

"Haffo, it is not your job to make people responsible, your job is to be the BEST Haffo. Others learn by your actions. BE the change you want to see happen."

but how would you be the best of yourself by ignoring it? well, maybe you would be the one who benefits in the end what you perceive as foolish might not be necessarly the truth! i say we should be able to express what we think regardless! that doesnt mean you have to be mean

All good points. I just sometimes see that I do not stress enough on people to realise what's wrong. Surely as passion fruit has said, maybe it's me or we who benefit in the end. But they tend to ignore what I said when I say it in civilised tone. It seems like a waste of time.

However, when I call them fools, something really changes. Even though if they not want to at the beginning, they realise it benefit at the end, which also means my own benefit.

I bet something changes when you call them a "fool" 😉

I've noticed that too, Haffo. People who just go along with the flow, never really make a change .. it's when something is pointed out, such as being a fool, that makes a person stop and take notice. They may ignore, or battle you at the time .. later, they actually take a look inside to see why this person called them a fool. For the person being the caller of the name .. they too, will introspect as to reasons why somebody would be considered a fool.

Compliments just bounce off the surface and little more than stroke the ego, whereas, addressing something that is wrong, will lead way to an effective change .. it's all in the matter of how it's approached. Additionally, every person has to be approached differently.

I simply adore "weird" people! Now, don't go changin' on me Sweet-P cuz I called you WEIRD....I meant it in the best possible way. 🙂

Perhaps we don't understand some more superior tools of conviction. Time will show.

Maybe calling people fools is an easier way to get to them rather than being diplomatic. Diplomacy is difficult.

There's a difference between calling someone a fool and warning them they'be been fooled. I guess it's how you approach it and leave it with them to process or ignore the information.

Criticising a Person - Weakness?

If you criticise the person and not the situation, then you probably try to put them down, which shows that you fear them and make an pre empitive strike.
