To those who through inhibition of self expression see all subjects as an arrow facing north or south, I pose a question for you to silently grate your arrows edge upon:
Is it for the greater good that pain be palliated with the chronic use of ibuprofen and perforated ulcers, or acetaminophen and failing livers, or any nsaid and heart disease?
Is insomnia now in fashion?
Is lethargy and unproductivity encouraged?
Or is it all a simple lack of empathy, characteristic of pampered narcissists who've acclimated to comfort since birth?
Or maybe an illustrious form of asceticism, an exhibition of impervious strength and endurance?
- NikolaNovak 5y agoFwiw - I enjoyed your posts The way I enjoy poetry : lovely, but largely incomprehensible. I don't know if you're getting down voted due to people disagreeing or merely not understanding what your point and data is. It is possible if you contributed more clearly you'd find a more receptive audience. I find frequently when there is topic near to people's heart aNd they spend a lot of time thinking about, they start at a hundred with a very strong and flowery language. My suggestion would be to understand others don't have same context and start at 1 and build your way up, whether logically or emotionally. You Gotta ask yourself are you writing for your own sake and enjoy your metaphors and alusions and poetry without regard for others (even finding gratification and martyrdom in not being understood), or are you actually trying to educate, persuade, build understanding. If the latter, focus on that goal most clearly and directly. (I could be wrong - merely my 2 cents).
