Have you noticed this?
Wisdom and beauty are often gentle, delicate, and generally subtle. Ignorance, on the other hand, must proclaim itself from the rooftops.
I don't know... I had seen pretty Loud Beauty on my days.
Not only have I noticed this, I've embodied this. Of course I notice it in other people. But I definitely notice it in myself too.
I find fear speaks the loudest, but costumed as justice or other things.
It's why I like the "Good News" sites. There are actually so many wise people doing good things, just no one is shouting about it. This is my favorite: [good.is] Many others lean toward animal stories, which says something...
It seems to me that a lot of people believe that volume, anger, dogged intensity, and bullying words are proper substitutes for informed content and reasonable discussion. On top of that, it's like arguing almost any point has turned into a battle to crush all opposition, as in "Atheism destroyed!" videos. What's supposed to be a stance of strength and domination is really weakness and uncertainty that cannot be tolerated or even faced, since it opens the possibility that one might be - gasp - wrong. So it's better to roar like an ignorant lion than whisper like a sagacious owl, I suppose.
Too often this is the case, just look at trump.
