Thank you, @vieira.
... you are right. There is no controlling from a single persons perspective with all the variables.
I start to dislike and avoid all those simple and straightforward talks about society/politics. .. Luxury of getting old. ;-)
Got kind of lonely here on steemit, doesn't it?
They are luxuries of living in a stable country.
So... I would not say that, but maybe.
On the other hand, I think that all kind of topics are good.
Although I mistakenly used the same words as blank canvas, I meant something completely different. It is the short-sighted talk, born out of anger or ignorance, of people who believe that with strong words and a strong hand everything necessary is said and can be achieved.
No, not a luxury just because of a stable situation, but the mixture of material abundance, the contemplation of one's own family past, the mistakes of youth and the experiences of social work that give me a thorough insight into my society.
From my point of view it needs high skills to talk about politics and society in a way which does not lead to fruitless discussions. Which, from my observation, it does in most of the times.
Your texts are an exception, I find. I mean it.
