More of less or less of more?
Someone went through my writing here and said, “ Perhaps you really should write more. The topics you covered aren’t easy to express fully in short form.”
This got me thinking. It was similar a predicament to me as ‘to be or not to be’. I am no Shakespeare. By the same token he was not me. I am a product of my environment and his was so different from now. We are choking on how much more is written about absolutely non-consequential or simply nothings and most come with visuals and sound. At the same time, concentration spans have been reduced to a blip in the ocean of time. Like tons of plastic waste inside marine animals we have been fed such fluff that we all have much of that inside us. Our ideas, values and aesthetics are all more animal like. We are technically reduced back to rudimentary Homo sapiens and not much evolved human kind.
When it comes to writing I fight to keep my focus laser sharp much like ‘see no evil and hear no evil’. My topics are my choosing. Beyond that I chose fewer words for a quick trip across the mind of the reader to leave the essence of my thought process behind - nothing more. You decide: Less is more or more is less!
