Speech

"It is not our soul but our mind that demands speech." (p98). This is a very strong statement made by Arendt. I also find it very debatable. I see where our mind does demand speech, but I feel our soul demands it too. The first thing I thought of was love. We're always told "actions speak louder than words." I'm a strong believer in the fact that love comes from the soul. While actions sometimes mean more than words, would our soul be okay with not hearing the words "I love you." I know for a girl that when you love him, you want nothing more than to hear those words. We want nothing more than to be told and reassured of their love. So is it our mind, or is it our soul? I guess it depends on which you believe the soul controls.
