Writing...&...Confidence....&....Humanity

Writing functions in order to communicate one's thoughts in a different medium, pen and ink. Right. (I know, I like to state the obvious.) Communication. When using pen and ink the most effective communication requires active and direct language. In fact, the language chosen illustrates the writer's confidence or lack there. Writers should be daring, challenging, and creative. Supporting arguments that act as mere flimsy probabilities never suffice in the court of law nor will they be taken seriously by a general audience. Passivity destroys one's ideas by keeping them developing into serious consideration. Action never surfaces from the abyss of secure solitude of apathy. There is another side however. Are all seemingly passive people really that passive, or are they hiding? Digging deeper one finds the phsycological glitch holding the writer back. Confidence, utter unabashed confidence. Confidence in who you are and a genuine acceptance of yourself. As a mentor and coach once said, To always think of who you want to be, is to waste who you are. Confidence. We are beautiful people of different origins with different ideas, theories, faults, talents, and dreams. We all bring something unique to the table. We all can communicate great ideas with the proper language and foundation.

Humanity,...I think it's beautiful and worth striving for. Our identity lies here. Who are we trying to impress anyway? We all are human, and that is a common ground that can never be broken. All the identities we manufacture through commercialism, or culture ultimately break down. Go hang out at a cemetary for a bit. Hmmm. I'm done.
