All of us know by now politics can be a sore subject for many. Trying to determine the reasons why it’s a sore spot, or getting to the bottom of it, is an age-old problem. Trying to step around cracks in the sidewalk is almost as hazardous. How to approach reason, reasonably? How to not step on the proverbial toes. Where to begin and not sound preachy.
Where to start in the myriad of pros and cons of lies or truths, who wants to believe what, where, when and how while holding the writing up against the wall, without holding your listener hostage.
Dealing with facts as facts is tricky, as everyone gets their facts from different sources. What facts hold these truths to be self evident? You definitely want those truths to stand out and not independent of verification… Substantiating a subject is imperative, and time consuming for those of us who know the truth without a doubt. No doubt!
How to tell when the hackles are being raised? Facial distortions...features start to pucker, brows start to knit, lips start to purse...etc. In the seated position, the body stiffens and realigns, sliding to the edge of the chair, ready to pounce if subject is not abandoned, quickly!
I will observe the speaker at all times while I try to understand their POV. I will be prepared for breaks in conversation, so as to jump in and capture my audience with astounding verbiage that will hold their attention, even if they have the attention span of a two year old. I will not tie my listener to a chair, I will not yell, scream or spit profanities...unless called for? I will stay rational, clear of mind and self-composed, unless provoked.
I’m a lawyer, I question the unquestionable... and a mystery writer, to unearth the dynamics of the minutest specks out of place...a scientist of the world’s views, unearthing the reasoning behind the rotations of the human mind! Where is the reasonability of...the fake, the real, the lies, the truths…? Why are we held by gravity, and not by truth? Why can’t we flip a switch and release the pull towards these half truths, and why haven’t we slung into space these lying sacks of shit politicians, where all should go….? Are they all lost in a space time capsule, untouchable until the right moment?
We go through many historical periods in a lifetime...before, during and after the present….it was written, it is written, and it will be written...read it. It won’t bite, but it might hold you in your seat, make you listen where you can’t take flight!
But I can’t make you read any more than I can make you see, hear, or listen to the keywords that pull the trigger that unlocks and slides open the pandora’s box of truths.
