“It is in dialogue and the sharing of ideas with others that we make sense of ourselves.”
— Alain de Botton
Simplified Meaning:
Talking and exchanging ideas with other people helps us understand who we are. When we converse with others, we hear different viewpoints and learn new things. These interactions can shape our thoughts and feelings. For instance, imagine you have a problem, but when you talk it over with a friend, you might see it in a new way and find a solution. Just like that, discussing our thoughts and beliefs with others can help us learn more about what we truly think and believe. By sharing ideas, we grow and get to know ourselves better.
