this year so to begin with I will be
this year so to begin with I will be talking about the oxymoron the force of
talking about the oxymoron the force of
talking about the oxymoron the force of an open secret so the open secret let me
an open secret so the open secret let me
an open secret so the open secret let me start with that is an oxymoron and I
start with that is an oxymoron and I
start with that is an oxymoron and I will talk to tell you later what an
will talk to tell you later what an
will talk to tell you later what an oxymoron is precisely but an open secret
oxymoron is precisely but an open secret
oxymoron is precisely but an open secret made me think especially this evening of
made me think especially this evening of
made me think especially this evening of the force of gravity that was already
the force of gravity that was already
the force of gravity that was already mentioned in the context of physics
mentioned in the context of physics
mentioned in the context of physics because gravity is not a secret
because gravity is not a secret
because gravity is not a secret it was always probably since the Big
it was always probably since the Big
it was always probably since the Big Bang with us but it was probably since

Bang with us but it was probably since Isaac Newton that it became a known
Isaac Newton that it became a known
Isaac Newton that it became a known force it came to the open so this is a
force it came to the open so this is a
force it came to the open so this is a kind of contradiction that sometimes it
kind of contradiction that sometimes it
kind of contradiction that sometimes it may happen that we look for things and I
may happen that we look for things and I
may happen that we look for things and I was looking for things and then I
was looking for things and then I
was looking for things and then I realized I was holding in my hand the
realized I was holding in my hand the
realized I was holding in my hand the whole day and this is somehow the
whole day and this is somehow the
whole day and this is somehow the phenomena of an open secret I think or
phenomena of an open secret I think or
phenomena of an open secret I think or sometimes the best
sometimes the best
sometimes the best way of hiding things is pretty much in
way of hiding things is pretty much in
way of hiding things is pretty much in the open but what about force and the
the open but what about force and the
the open but what about force and the force that I’m interested in is in
force that I’m interested in is in
force that I’m interested in is in particular the force of language and
particular the force of language and
particular the force of language and because language serves as a very not
because language serves as a very not
because language serves as a very not the only one but a very important tool
the only one but a very important tool
the only one but a very important tool for communicating ideas and expressing

law in particular and also in daily life
law in particular and also in daily life communication language is very important
communication language is very important
communication language is very important and this open secret as a force in
and this open secret as a force in
and this open secret as a force in nature was also mentioned by the German
nature was also mentioned by the German
nature was also mentioned by the German poet wolfgang goethe and good was a

way a kind of paradox have you heard of
way a kind of paradox have you heard of paradox as well both terms are used to
paradox as well both terms are used to
paradox as well both terms are used to express kind of contradictions there are
express kind of contradictions there are
express kind of contradictions there are many more such rhetorical figures of
many more such rhetorical figures of
many more such rhetorical figures of speech that kind of transcend this black
speech that kind of transcend this black
speech that kind of transcend this black and white thinking that we used to when
