"Never Give All the Heart" by W.B. Yeats is a poem that offers a cautionary perspective on the nature of love and relationships. At its core, the poem warns against giving oneself completely in love, arguing that the passion and excitement of initial love can quickly fade away, leaving one vulnerable to heartbreak. Instead, Yeats suggests that holding back a part of oneself can help maintain the intensity and intrigue of the relationship. One of the most interesting aspects of the poem is its use of gendered language. Yeats specifically addresses passionate women in the poem, suggesting that they are the ones who require the thrill of the chase to keep love exciting. This gendered perspective is reflective of the cultural norms of Yeats' time, which often placed men in the position of power and women as passive recipients of male affection. However, it is important to note that Yeats is not advocating for a misogynistic view of love; rather, he is pointing out the ways in which societal expectations can impact our understanding of what it means to love and be loved. Another important aspect of the poem is its use of metaphor. Yeats compares love to a kind of play, suggesting that those who give their hearts up to the game may not be able to play it well enough if they are deaf and dumb and blind with love. This metaphor underscores the idea that love is a complex and often unpredictable phenomenon, one that requires a certain level of detachment and strategy to navigate successfully. It is worth noting the tone of melancholy reflection that pervades the poem. Yeats speaks from a place of experience, suggesting that he himself has given all his heart and lost it. This lends a sense of credibility to his cautionary advice, as he speaks not from a place of theoretical knowledge but from personal experience. • 100 selected poems of W. B. Yeats
It would seem obvious that humans have the capacity. Of course we all can do both , and yes can you imagine if everyone stayed silent? Would we only communicate through writing, art maybe, and I guess instrumental music. Yeah pretty boring.
I don't know why I found this funny🤣😂 But from the little pieces I've learnt about stoicism is that it centers upon practical knowledge, courage, kindness and temperance. Continually arguing till the other one gives up is not virtuous in any sense. At least that's what I think🤔
Be acquainted with knowledge surely can create effectively communication .. as a have argued ..like a business or personal talks .. but like calling onponsel has receivers n decoder has a feedback instead like establish creadibility.. okay thankyou..
I can appreciate your perspective on this. But sometimes it’s impossible to get people to understand and recognize logic and rational based thinking. Emotional intelligence (learned from philosophy) should allow you to try to understand why and how the culture has shifted and continues to shift towards “wokeness” with a stronger pull towards feelings rather than facts. I don’t have the answer, I’m not sure anyone does.

I wonder how valid this advice is nowadays, in this era of wokeness, where feelings matter more than facts.
“The world would be happier if men had the same capacity to be silent that they have to speak.” Spinoza
That is so boring.

Nice always keep down the background music
One philosopher said just keep arguing until the other persons quit. Is that stoicism?

No, Cynthia. That's called being a woman.
Or a liberal🤣🤣🤣
First comment 👍
And what is it?
Be acquainted with knowledge surely can create effectively communication .. as a have argued ..like a business or personal talks .. but like calling onponsel has receivers n decoder has a feedback instead like establish creadibility.. okay thankyou..

Didn't speak to women much ,did he?
From my experience some women do not want to listen even if you're speaking very logically and reasonably trying to help them or everyone.
That’s why I won’t have friendships with them.
Yep
found the woke one

Feelings over facts=insanity.
Being woke means being cognizant of systemic racism . Know your definitions - a necessary step when presenting a rational argument.
Aristotle never met a republican!
Aristotle met many reasonable people.
@@wintermatherne2524 Very well response, if that man converts to republican or not it´s his problem.
He wants us to think, he wants us to use logic and to educate ourselves.
Imagine how smarter he could have been with today's tech 🤯
