Opinions have been stated. The shades have been revealed . . .

--> -->
Some times, some people, with their excited mind, start discussion about many topics, many issues and many observations. And their discussion mostly ends with "nothing", and when they get tired with the discussion they return back to their normal life with normal stage of their mind!

At this point about discussion I would like to share a very good paragraph written by Lenin in 1904,
“[O]ne of the "Centre" delegates complained, "How oppressive the atmosphere is at our Congress!"  "This bitter fighting, this agitation one against the other, this biting controversy, this uncomradely attitude! . . ." "What a splendid thing our Congress is!" I replied. "A free and open struggle. Opinions have been stated. The shades have been revealed. The groups have taken shape. Hands have been raised. A decision has been taken. A stage has been passed. Forward! That's the stuff for me! That's life! That's not like the endless, tedious word-chopping of your intellectuals, which stops not because the question has been settled, but because they are too tired to talk any more. . . ."   (Page-158, Foot Note, “One Step Forward two Step Backward” by Lenin)
Some among these "word-chopping" intellectuals may still be there who are not become habitual (and addictive!) of doing "only" discussions without any practical aim. Time by time, a push of thoughts should be given to these people, so that some among them can rethink about the practical aim of their discussions.
