When you make a response,do you always write from your point of view?-elaborated email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 95/100. kalav56 (1913)   ranked 512 out of 32,544 in mylot.com8 months ago

While you respond to a discussion do you always write from your
1] own point of view---]When we are conditioned by our own circumstances and tend to look from our own point of view.
2] from the other person’s point of view --We are able to sense the other person’s feelings and we find instances that were similar to their cases and write our response from this angle OR
3] From an overall perspective? -] we tend to think of various possibilities from our hearsay and reading books and personal experiences and then try and respond.

I always give my own personal opinion, and what I think on the situation or the topic of the subject. I know my opinion will differ a lot from other members' opinion, but if there weren't so many differences in opinions, then what would be the point of this site?
I think it's greato hear other peoples opinions on different topics. Sure, it can create arguments, but at the end of the day, this is just a website. If you get offended in any way, instead of creating a fuss, why not just close the window.
I know some people try to force their opinions and beliefs onto you, and I don't really like those type of people.

Very well said.That is the point of this website and htere is no need to feel offended or thrust one's opinion on others.That is why I stay clear of controversial topics and even if unwittingly there is some provocation I do not take too much notice.THanks for the elaborate response.

When i respond to a discussion it is from my own experiences, and my own point of view, even if i do not agree with others have said. Every body has different opinions, and that is what keeps everything interesting and fresh.


myLot reputation of 95/100. kalav56 (1913)   ranked 512 out of 32,544 in mylot.com  8 months ago

That is what the forum is all about, to interact and get diferent points of view.This becomes easier in objective issues .Thank you very much for the participation.

How I respond depends on the discussion I'm responding to.

For the most part, I respond from my own point of view as that's what the original poster asks for - my opinion or experience. But if the original poster asks for different ways of looking at something, I try to take different viewpoints into consideration.


myLot reputation of 95/100. kalav56 (1913)   ranked 512 out of 32,544 in mylot.com  8 months ago

True that is why we start a discussion --in order to get another perspective.
thank you for the nice response.

Well, for me, many times I have a mixed response. Some from my own point of view, based on my previous experiences and the experience of others. And second, from a biblical point of view, where all responses are based on "what saith the Lord", rather what saith men. I think that I can still be better if I continue to have a humble heart to learn, so that I can have something to share!lol


myLot reputation of 95/100. kalav56 (1913)   ranked 512 out of 32,544 in mylot.com  8 months ago

Thanks for the response.You have brought God into the concept and I do not have much to say--He would always have something profound to say and we are all learners.

I answer mainly from my own perspective. want to put myself in the same shoe of the person who describe the discussion. Then answer what i feel right.It may not be what the user want to hear.


myLot reputation of 95/100. kalav56 (1913)   ranked 512 out of 32,544 in mylot.com  8 months ago

I understand what you have tried to convey.Similarly, when you come across responses that may not have what you want to hear how do you react?Do you feel bad or do you think'Ah they won't understand what I am trying to say 'or do you feel positive about it.?

Yes I write it in my own point of view. I usually write it short because I'm a straight person. I don't want to add any unnecessary words in my response.

Hi there!happy

In making a response I just share all my views on a certain topic. I just try to be clear and direct to the point as much as possible. The things I want to share would depend on the kind of topic and what the topic is asking for. I can share about the pros and cons, from my own experience or from a book I've read. It can also come from my observations.

As long as I have a lot to say I will respond to a topic. I don't respond to a topic if I don't know much about it.

Ciao!wink


myLot reputation of 95/100. kalav56 (1913)   ranked 512 out of 32,544 in mylot.com  8 months ago

I already wrote a comment to it but there seems to be soem problem and it has not come through.It wa s response that reflected what normally I too do.I pick and choose my topics and would participate where I can write really something, some substance.If I don't know then I won't look at it .Thank you .

I always try to be objective (the third option here). However, that is not to say I leave out my own feelings and experiences altogether; I just try to avoid being completely biased as so many people are. I understand there are other perspectives on many things, and acknowledging that and knowing what some of these other opinions are makes a person more well rounded and better overall.


myLot reputation of 95/100. kalav56 (1913)   ranked 512 out of 32,544 in mylot.com  8 months ago

That is what i try to do .But of course, we cannot help a bit of personal interpretation and ideas based on our experience and in such cases I carefully explain the context for my opinion so that the person should not take offence--at least try to word it in a way that would be slightly careful and considerate.Thank you for the response.

I will always offer my opinion if i have something worth saying and therefore if i dont have anything of any point or meaning i will not add it. Although i will always offer my opinion i may change my phrasing to the point so that people still know what im saying but it will try not to offend everyone. at the end of the day we post here to find out other people opinions and if youre not ready to hear someone elses opinion you should be here.


myLot reputation of 95/100. kalav56 (1913)   ranked 512 out of 32,544 in mylot.com  8 months ago

What a coincidence.My previous comment echoes what you ahev written --about the careful wording of the response. Thank you for the response.

I just try to give my point of view always.That could be the right response in a forum I think.Likewise some one else will give his own point of view and so we are able to look into the many sides of a same issue.It is always interesting to see the kaleidoscopic views here. happy


myLot reputation of 95/100. kalav56 (1913)   ranked 512 out of 32,544 in mylot.com  8 months ago

Well said.That is the point of discussion and interaction and if we are going to say 'yes' yes what you say is right and I agree ' [in our Tamil there are ideal phrases Bala 'amam sami podaradhu''Jalra adikkaradhu' etc--sometimes I really miss the beautiful eqivalent[if you see what I mean]in English[it works the other way too but when it is some real sharp word or a Tamil proverb we always say 'Ah what a phrase'! [Is Jalra Tamil/I don't think so---is it?]

But sometimes, I find people posting some subjective issues and in one discussion I saw a response which was totally out of context .
.It is easy to discuss objective issues, where there is a free exchange of ideas without rancour.

myLot reputation of 94/100. balasri (9488)   ranked 774 out of 32,544 in mylot.com  8 months ago

That Jalra thing is a wonderful phrase in Tamil no doubt.You always can visualize a person clinking that metal pieces to behind the main singer or Bagavathar.There is a very apt phrase in English as you might very well know, meaning the same that involves the music and sound.Playing the second fiddle.Instead of Jalra it is fiddle here.People always thing and visualaize the same thing regardless of there language and region .Is it not so?lol


myLot reputation of 95/100. kalav56 (1913)   ranked 512 out of 32,544 in mylot.com  8 months ago

True.Many concepts are broadly same and it is the same with proverbs too.However in idioms and phrases too we seem to have had this equivalent.I too remembered it when you mentioned it.What an ideal phrase!Normally this is not too common and sometimes it looks pathetic when people translate the regional idiom to English.


myLot reputation of 94/100. balasri (9488)   ranked 774 out of 32,544 in mylot.com  8 months ago

Each and every language has it's beauty and nuance.Unfortunately some uneducated forces in this state are trying to play with the mother tongue sentiment to grind their own axes.Pathetic.
