It is interesting to see how various people respond to certain ideas and acts of communication.
Some people are fluid and can learn quickly and change their minds if they need to. Others are gelatinous: they quiver a bit and then revert to their old shape. Yet others rise out of the ground like spires of rock, refusing to negotiate.
Such characteristics dramatically influence the shape our social totality takes. For a good social climate, one necessarily needs compassion and understanding.
