We talk too much. We talk without thinking. We don't listen-just wait till the other person stops talking-waiting-to open our mouths -vocalizing-always vocalizing.
Alone
-we text-same inanities. What can be said -important-intimate-that one would want to say in a text? Yes, I am aware people woo, propose, fight, break off relationships, close business deals-texting.
Think about it. Whatever happened to human face-face interaction? A certain amount of courage and respect is required to deal with close to the heart matters face to face. Texting intimate details is cowardly.
Now we have twitter.
Definition?
1.| to utter a succession of small, tremulous sounds, as a bird. |
| 2. | to talk lightly and rapidly, esp. of trivial matters; chatter. |
| 3. | to titter; giggle. |
| 4. | to tremble with excitement or the like; be in a flutter. Let's go with number two. Who cares about your trivial mundane activities? You do. For some unfathomable reason you believe others are fascinated by you. Your every moment is twittered. Getting in a cab to meet Sasha for lunch at a new trendy restaurant. Hanging a fascinating new picture discovered in a junk shop! Celebrities twitter pictures of themselves in the shower. Pictures of their shoes. The ultimate narcissism. Mindless twittering by twits. |
