Well, to tell you truth, I have learned a long time ago that the trick when doing a debate, any kind of debate, is to just turn off the judgment switch in my head.
Disciples do owe their masters only a temporary belief, and a suspension of their own judgment till they be fully instructed.
When I interview people accused of capital offenses, I never even ask if they did it. I would consider that unprofessional.
Our duty is to believe that for which we have sufficient evidence, and to suspend our judgment when we have not.
It’s not the job of an actor to judge your character.
If I do three interviews in a day, I can be exhausted, because the process of hearing everyone requires that I empty out myself. While I'm listening, my own judgments and prejudices certainly come up. But I know I won't get anything unless I get those things out of the way.
Most people suspend their judgment till somebody else has expressed his own and then they repeat it.
Be easier on yourself, on everyone, on everything. Suspend your judgments on the way things should be, must be, and ought to be. Suspending judgments gives you greater ease. Consider ease the antidote for disease.
Metaphysicians have been learning their lessons for the last four thousand years, and it is high time that they should now begin to teach us something. Can any of the tribe inform us why all the operations of the mind are carried on with undiminished strength and activity in dreams, except the judgment, which alone is suspended and dormant?
