“Comedy is defiance. It's a snort of contempt in the face of fear and anxiety. And it's the laughter that allows hope to creep back on the inhale.”

Will Durst


 

“There is all the difference in the world between the criminal's avoiding the public eye and the civil disobedience's taking the law into his own hands in open defiance. This distinction between an open violation of the law, performed in public, and a clandestine one is so glaringly obvious that it can be neglected only by prejudice or ill will.”

Hannah Arendt



Defiance

When you don't want to or won't admit that you might not be right you are in defiance. We get in this predicament when we stop listening. "I am right. You are wrong," and the is absolutely no middle ground. An interesting thing happens when someone becomes defiant the other parties involved tend to become as defiant. These sessions will help you to understand that there is almost always common ground finding it gives you an edge to solve the conflict of the war of wills.
