The mistake about expression
I don't know if this has happened to you: I sometimes wonder if this is only me.
There are times when I get to sit down and read a piece, be it an article or a book; I find myself looking for patterns, especially when it comes to how the tone of the piece is been set. And as I begin to absorb myself with the idea in it...
I have many times–not just once– caught myself go(and I don't know if this happens to you) no, no. This is not how this part should have been written.
In my mind, as I read along, I am already setting the pace the author might not have set. Maybe the author calmly made an expression, and I am thinking, this should have come a little bit hash.
Well, just recently, I realized how wrong I have been when I judge a writer based on his or her expression.
The problem is not really how the writer expressed it because if I would argue, I would say, there's no right way of expression (this is actually the bases for this piece itself).
This is because our perspective about a thing is what determines our response. Therefore, the problem is not about our expression–though people's natural inclination is to judge you by it–the problem is with our perspective.
It is our perspective that creates the run-way for how we express the thing we see, hear and feel when the moment comes–be it the things we say or the ones we don't say.
