Expressing Thoughts vs Thinking Them
Nov. 7th, 2019 02:24 pmI often have an issue where I get frustrated by how the thoughts I express do not seem to adequately match the thoughts that I'm thinking. If I understood why that happened, maybe I could do something about it. Is it that I change my mind about things a lot? I do change my mind about certain things a lot, especially since I am always trying to think of things from new angles and learning new information about them. At the same time, while that might be the case sometimes, I suspect it is not always the issue. Or that it's hard to adequately express certain ideas with words. Sometimes I wish there were better ways to express things than words. There are different ways, like with images, but while that may be better for expressing some ideas, such a medium still has some of the same limitations as words, and words can more adequately express certain ideas than images can. I think that part of it is that I'm a lazy writer and adequately conveying some of my thoughts would take way more time and effort than I tend to be willing to expend.
Anyway, I want to work on this issue. I considered deleting and not posting this because it wasn't quite expressing what I wanted. But the irony of that induces me to keep this.
