تصور - the purpose
Ideology possessed is a deposition of whatever teeth a belief might have. Speech masquerades as action, its articulation declaws impulse, displaces indignation with intellectual appeasement; It tricks you into believing breath bears substance. Art and words, once valuable vessels for voice, died disemboweled, now serving solely as self satisfactory illusions.
This is what I believe, so why even bother to articulate my thoughts somewhere when it would, by my own admission, be better to just act them out? I have a few ways of justifying myself.
-
To articulate something is to give it form, and to give it form allows for better assessment, assessment is understanding, understanding is improving.
It frustrates me when I encounter an ideology I find repugnant, something based in the harm of others; Rather than sit with that frustration or, worse, argue, I will try to channel it into writing these essays
-
I don't think there's much of a chance anyone will read these, and yet, I think if I could share these thoughts with even one person, and that person becomes curious enough to try and understand or learn something new or talk to me about it, it would be worthwhile.
