PointBlank...
it takes time to think and "write down" what to say maybe because words put together are just words put together...thinking about the meanings of the words said or written makes all the difference - contextualizing, constructing and even deconstructing words in meanings or meanings in words ---- perhaps this is one reason why i see my students cross their brows or twitch their lips when i start asking roundabout questions...though i ask straightforwardly (??? - is there such a word) - pointblank
even direct questions can have an "it depends" answer, not just a simple YES and NO response...and then we start blabbing and defending the "it depends" answer. Yes sirry!!!
Perhaps...if only we're trained to hear and accept the yes and no at pointblank, what a wonderful world we'll have. And there'll be peace ...but not silence...i guess...no, not silence...
