A thought over some distant looking talk on how human in general, despite how straightforward, cocky, and don't-care-what-other-people-may-say kind of person they think they are, constantly hide the thing they which might be the most apparent reason of their being. The most essential thought or belief that was kept.
I do that.
As I thought about it, the more you talk, the less you are heard. For me this should be a simple advertising concept, as far as I'm concern. Remember the three times back-to-back advertisement repeating a sentence or phrase? (They have stopped doing it a while ago, but still it was as annoying that the idea will stuck in my head as a total no-no).In a way, your subconscience refuse the message that was given. If people insist that the advertisement was proven effective to increase sales, I refuse to believe that the purchase was triggered fue to the message being heard and accepted. It was your other subconscience telling you that the product sound more familiar than the one sitting next to it on the display at the grocery store.
And so, as you yell and scream saying what you say and thought was the core of your message, most of the time it's not. Most of the time, you (well, let me put it as I, to keep me from a constant judging mood) keep the very basic thought in, out of the fear that the discouraging comment that you might received would eventually killed the thought. And since thought is the most powerful thing that one might possess, when you lost it, you lose it all.
Talking to some friends late last night, I knew we were busy with our own thoughts as our mouth speak. Trying so hard to ensure that tiny spot that sticks with the core of your values/message/ beliefs/ whatever.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery's carreer as a painter was diminished by the age of 6, a good thing he kept the six years young spirit in. I better keep mine, before it eventually kill itself.
