 |   Second blog -- answers to an ocean of prompts |
 "Failure is unimportant. It takes courage to make a fool of yourself." CHARLIE CHAPLIN  Sometimes it takes darkness and the sweet confinement of your aloneness to learn anything or anyone that does not bring you alive is too small for you. David Whyte        This is my supplementary blog in which I will post entries written for prompts. |
| Prompt: "The only thing then being talked about is not being talked about." Write about this in your Blog entry today. ============ Such a paradoxical statement! Any conversation or discourse has to have a primary subject. But here, the talk or its content refers to an iffy thing, in other words, something...i.e. what the talk is about... is not being explicitly mentioned or discussed. If what that certain talk could be about would be made clear, my answer would be clear, too. This makes me wonder if, when a topic about a person is sensitive, controversial, or uncomfortable, and the other people are dancing around the issues, why would anyone want to be talked about? In which case, wouldn't it be better not being talked about? On the other hand, if the word "talk" refers to being loved and considered and honored and all those nice things and then some, yes, any one would like to be talked about. Then, isn't it a fact that when people discuss censorship, taboo, or the limits of free speech, they are talking about the concept of not talking about something? See, such paradoxical statements could be interpreted in so many ways! . |
