Discussions vs. Educations

We writers have the "show, don't tell" axiom driven into our skulls often and forcefully by any writing teacher, workshop, or book about writing that we turn to.

And while I think the showing/telling dichotomy in writing often is more delicate and complex, I do think it's often overlooked how useful being told to show instead of tell is in the interactions we have as human beings.
