What I’ve learned

Syntax is everything. We let one thing slip, say one thing without mulling, without thinking it through, in a frenzy! But what were you thinking??? Your mind was occupied with that thought or some other that your brain had been softened and ripened to a point of being putrid: and now, well, you’re fucked. They—me and even you: we—would rather be blind than try to show compassion or room for understanding. To spend that precious time to dissect and translate for the sake of some argument. To justify the time we've spent. To prove we’re right, and they’re wrong. For our ego. To tear ourselves down. Are we perfect humans? Our good intentions or knowledge won’t get through the thick walls of some who are entrenched in trying to argue.

It can seem easier to stay silent. Because no one in this binary world of 1s and 0s can possibly know what we go through behind that LED screen. It’s a forced trauma behavior.
