Warren: Both. Was trying to stay neutral and write in a way that would apply to both man and lady!

Sometimes I find that being a dance instructor involves dabbling in couples’ therapy. But one of the great things about dance is that it reveals (and can build) character, especially when it comes to how we connect and don’t connect with others.

Very well-written article. I’m looking forward to future articles in the series!

I totally agree that human communication is multifaceted and intensely intricate as the author has nicely elaborated, especially when harmony is sought. I also strongly believe in the necessity of a quantum entanglement of minds for that most sought after unity! Nicely written!

Dance is the art of gentle persuasion, that’s why the studio was named Nice n Easy and not, for example, DanceMental! LOL

Comment on Why Haruki Murakami lies. Why he writes by Jim Pope

Jim Pope — Wed, 30 Sep 2009 09:36:52 +0000

Very interesting, but I think Murakami doesn’t properly articulate the nature of his craft: writing fiction is not the same as lying. Fiction is not truth or falsity. A lie is a lie because of an intention to pass the statement made as truth – a lie must involve an act of deception or. But no novelist pretends his fictional world is THE world, thus it can’t be a lie. Novelists don’t lie unless they claim that their stories are true.(journalists might lie though…). A fictional world is, by definition, invented: it conforms to its own rules, has its own special characteristics and parameters, even perhaps its own physical laws. Every fictional world is an alternative to this one. No one reading a novel thinks they are reading a documentary account of THE world, only an account of A world. I agree with Murakami’s final paragraph, regarding his reason for writing. But in order to fulfil that aim he doesn’t tell lies, he constructs alternative worlds in order to probe the one we live in.

Excuse me…you’r worried about the apostrophe when pple are swollowing large chunks of letters in the amusement called texting? Probably, out there punctuation marks are becoming almost extinct.

Btw, aren’t we allowed to drop letters to modify the language if it works. Isn’t it a better choice to reconsider the ’ss’s’ rather than tongue twisting? (I enjoyed the Panda that eats, shoots and leaves.)

But I agree with you, language would be on disablity pension if not for some English teachers struggling to rehabilitate it. Good job!

Good to see you here. And I believe you just might be talking about academish as well there?!
