"The fence" 

 As trite and stereotyped as this heading may sound, it turns out to be the order of the day. The "very present day".
In class today I sit there trying to learn how to be a good writer and as good lawyer how to take my stand without timidity. And a certain sentence catches my ear, "Do not be dogmatic and do not sit on the fence".  According to the Webster Dictionary, the word 'dogmatic' means expressing personal opinions or beliefs as if they are certainly correct and cannot be doubted. On the other hand, to sit on the fence is expressing beliefs like one is  not certain that they are correct or not having any belief at all.
 Why is it called 'belief' if they cannot be expressed like they are certainly correct? It so occurred to me "Diplomacy" just like the famous Archimedes; I found it! Now there is a world where denial is the only saviour and truth is a thought. Nobody wants to known your belief. Be careful not to infringe on the right of others but do well to sneer with a smile. So that it appears like there is no harm intended. So I will continue to learn my self development. After all, I AM A LAWYER (in the making).
  I may have to draft a bill and cannot be dogmatic about it.
