Too many words and you’re asking men?

😂

Dropping the word everything, then yes. Consider, though, that in these forums we find ourselves expressing thoughts we've never before set down in written word. Before, they've made perfect sense as electric impulses racing within our skulls; now, we must air them using human language because we lack ESP. Give the poor speaker/writer a break, a blank page before them, no first draft, no rehearsal, and a feeling of urgency to say something because an audience awaits.

Someone said "I write to discover what I know." I could’ve posted it alone as my answer and everyone smarter than I am could’ve derived my first paragraph themselves. But I needed it to reach more readers. Too many words? Probably--it’s just a first draft. Logorrhea today; eloquence tomorrow.

I believe many people really don't understand the meanings of the quotes they use.

Many times I'll see conflicting quotes by opposing points of views.

Not all quotes are necessarily true as well.

So this type of mixing only makes everything far more complex.

Yes indeed, we do. The verbosity, excessive citation giving, and abundance of information a person gives based on individual or individuals' merit and experience. ☺

What?...... was that too much?
ArishMell · 70-79, M
Very often, Yes!

Sometimes by not seeing simple solutions to simple questions or problems.

1000% yes! It is exhausting.

Yes, to quote from the song 'white, discussion' by the band Live.

Look where all this talking got us baby.
Levenrack · 46-50, M
@Rudboy41 I see your one song about talking... And, raise ya.. another one. About talking. With respect. 😎

@Levenrack ah a Live fan too i see, good on you, only fans remember mental jewellery. Enjoyed their funk rock phase before they went more mainstream with secrets samadhi, thats when i 1st listened to them in hs, Chad Taylor is one of my guitar heroes, his riffs and fills are so clever such an artist in my opinion. I would have liked to hear Live do a cover of " toss a coin to your witcher" while they were in their funk rock phase.

@Rudboy41 That would've been awesome. TBH I didn't really get into them until after TC released. Then I was heavily into them, for many years. But the love was fading away probably after Birds of Pray released.
Then all the disputes and everyone coming and going happened. I still love the music, just not the band. But.....

I was blessed to see them live in Milwaukee, at the Marcus. I think it was the summer of graduation, so in 1996.🤔
Great time. But it was before Secret Samadhi was released, so no sneak peeks—heavy dose of Throwing Copper and the few from Mental Jewelry.

Started with The Dam at Otter Creek - outstanding stage choreography. A lot of full light flashes on/off timed well. Everyone is pumped.

Obviously, all the main songs that were on the radio stations' regular rotation, were played. But my three favorites after the show were Shit Towne, White Discussion, and Waitress. Ok, I lied, they were all good. So good!

White, the Discussion was second to last, and if they'd stopped right there. I'd be fine with that. 😏 They had that lovely distortion running while they were packing stuff up. About 3 minutes or so.

The stage crew brought out a full-sized couch, and the band came back out and played Horse, while sitting and chilling.
Best concert for me, 100%.

No. If something rings true and helpful, scoop it up. If not, let it pass.

SOME humans provide clarity with their words.

Not really.

People don’t communicate well.
wildland · M
@meJess I think they do, if it's face-to-face. That's how we've done so well as a species in the past.
meJess · F
@wildland even then they are are not always listening, just waiting for ‘their turn to talk’.
wildland · M
@meJess Agreed. But we were still light-years ahead of where we are now, with our "communication" on social media.

Not all of them but some for sure
