Shallowness

Its hard to speak against shallowness.

If you are speaking too "deep" audiences, there is no point in telling them the shallowness of those who are ignorant.

If you are speaking to a "shallow" audience, they would have to understand deep things to know what you are really meaning by being shallow.

Then you have to take into account that your idea of deep vs. shallow has an absolute basis, and not simply "a matter of perspective" - since the saying goes, one mans trash is another man's treasure... perhaps what you think is deep is only really a shallow thing.

For example perhaps to an engineering student, one might think that a certain set of analytical skill is really 'common sense' - but it isn't common sense to an arts student, not so much because they are stupid, but because they see things in a different way. In the same way, we might not be always right in thinking others as ignorant people.

Having said that, I am not dismissing that there is such a thing as being shallow and being deep since as much as there are many things in life that is just a matter of perspective - there is also loads of things which are not just a matter of perspective.

Having said all these, I think - at this point of time - should we want to educate another person because we think of them as shallow - is not so much to introduce the deep content that we cannot wait to share. As much as this is important, I think that we ought to provide the perspective of things we are looking at first, i.e. the context also. If we cannot convince the other person that the context or perspective is a worthy one, then we would not do well in talking about the content since they are not interested in the matter at all.

Convince the context first, then the contents will be meaningful
