@James25 Then they wouldn't be your words. That being said, what I wrote above is a sort of rewrite. The original is clunky and that's how best I found to share the sentiment.

@Samek yes the way you said it is also a great way of saying it

@James25 Also James, as a fellow writer, keep writing! I look forward to seeing your other stuff.

Pretentious vagary wrapped in an inadvisable double negative. Not worth repeating.

@Jimbo1 this has obviously triggered some personal aspect that holds true within yourself and in turn you try and project the opposite outward
