Weighing Values

All of us are prone to be rushed off our feet
by an explosive expression of opinion or judg-
ment clothed in a fiery speech and vehement
language We mistake the ardor of the speaker
and the fervor of his statement for real knowl-
edge and an expression of fundamental truth.
Hence it is that many blatant statements,
seemingly full of facts and truth, fall down mis-
erably when they are subjected to keen analysis
or to painstaking examination.
Even in our own lives we find that we are
inclined to deal literally in half-truths and to
accept as final many matters which are not con-
elusive. We fail to examine carefully the facts
back of statements which we make, and conse-
quently pass on to others as being true.
If we learned to hesitate about repeating

In all these troubles the policy has
been to smooth and calm down the cx-

underlying everything else in nearly
every one of these cases, is the 81

the fact that arguments avail little
