hi uk,
the roof of pathos ( emotions ) cannot deliver on its own in a truth exhuming blog site.
it has to be laid on a foundation of ethos ( trust )
supported by walls made of logos ( consistency )
to hold the INTEREST of a vast multinational audience ( whom you bollock hour after hour ) you need pathos .
any idiot can hold the ATTENTION -- only a chosen few can hold the interest .
and the authors who were sponsored by big brother -- they have all fallen by the wayside in this internet age.
have you seen the pathetic JOKERS on main stream media ?
they are like the flea ridden cats at port royale , discussing how the treasure should be divided and which pirate should get what. the pirates do NOT even know that these mangy cats exist.
like body/ mind and soul -- every piece of prose must have ethos/ pathos / logos.
without pathos poetry cannot exist.
check out the worlds greatest poets sponsored by big brother -- do you see any pathos ?
a perceptive soul verily said - "the heart has reasons that the mind knows not of." -- statistics may fall, arguments may fall short -- pathos never fails.
only IDIOTS like winston churchill think pathos is rhetoric

Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend me your ears;
I come to bury Caesar, not to praise him.
The evil that men do lives after them;
The good is oft interred with their bones;
So let it be with Caesar. The noble Brutus
Hath told you Caesar was ambitious:
If it were so, it was a grievous fault,
And grievously hath Caesar answer'd it.
Here, under leave of Brutus and the rest--
For Brutus is an honourable man;
So are they all, all honourable men--
Come I to speak in Caesar's funeral.
He was my friend, faithful and just to me:
But Brutus says he was ambitious;
And Brutus is an honourable man.
He hath brought many captives home to Rome
Whose ransoms did the general coffers fill:
Did this in Caesar seem ambitious?
When that the poor have cried, Caesar hath wept:
Ambition should be made of sterner stuff:
Yet Brutus says he was ambitious;
And Brutus is an honourable man.
You all did see that on the Lupercal
I thrice presented him a kingly crown,
Which he did thrice refuse: was this ambition?
Yet Brutus says he was ambitious;
And, sure, he is an honourable man.
I speak not to disprove what Brutus spoke,
But here I am to speak what I do know.
You all did love him once, not without cause:
What cause withholds you then, to mourn for him?
O judgment! thou art fled to brutish beasts,
And men have lost their reason. Bear with me;
My heart is in the coffin there with Caesar,
And I must pause till it come back to me.
In his Rhetorica Aristotle identifies the three canonical modes of artistic proof: ethos, pathos and logos on grounds that, in order to persuade, one must exude good character, move the audience by appealing to emotions, and, of course, advance good reasons.
Aristotle lifted his ideas from the DIALECTICS, METAPHYSICS , EPISTEMOLOGY, EMPIRICISM of the Indian Vedas and Upanishads penned down 7000 years ago.
THE ROOF OF PATHOS CANNOT BE LAID WITHOUT THE FOUNDATION OF ETHOS AND THE WALLS OF LOGOS.. NO BOOK OR WEBSITE TILL DATE , HAS THE PERCEPTION TO MENTION THIS.
A CHANGE MANAGER must know the art of persuasion.
Half wits cannot be change managers.
I have been a change manager at sea.
I KEPT PATHOS OUT OF THE EQUATION.
TRAGEDY KINGS GET A KICK ON THEIR BACK SIDES, AS A TOOL OF PERSUASION.
