Sometimes life provides us with the unique and extraordinary ability to see society and the human experience with clarity. Sometimes it only provides us with frustration and chaos.

Behind The Written Word

Many people like to write. It is a way to express oneself, unlease hidden emotion, and explore creative possibilities. Though their is a hidden truth about writers not often talked about.
Writting is a place to hide. A secret place where no confontation or debate takes place.
You are not cornered by your comment, or ideas. The reader simply has to hold their breath and continue reading, or not. They cannot stop you mid sentence, or debate your ideals.
No matter what you are in control of information being expressed.
So does that make writers wimps, fear bearing individuals. Perhaps. Somewhere behind every story is a vunerability. A question, will they read it, do they enjoy it, did they understand the message. There is also that sence of security, no heated debate, if feathers are ruffled you remain a safe distance away. An conflicting emotions or feelings can not be redirected at you, the writer.
So what does that say about writers personalities? Perhaps it would be humbling to think about.
