Typing is easy, reading is hard
When I was much younger, school age younger, I thought the title statement was opposite. I found reading super easy but writing to be very challenging.
Fast forward to the post truth social media age and learned experience tells me that I had it backwards. Practically every post I peck into some social media platform or other is replied to by somebody who very clearly has not read the post they are replying to. At best they are reacting to the first sentence. Usually to tell me I'm wrong. But my favourites are those whom imagine I've said something and then start arguing with that imagined viewpoint. It is little wonder the state of social media and seemingly social discourse has arrived at the place it has.
This is how I've come to be here. I enjoy writing as a creative outlet. I write to amuse myself on some observation or other. But I can do without the interaction. Shouting into the void you might say, without giving the void a chance to shout back. My problem with the shouting back isn't that I'm not interested, quite the opposite. It just frustrates me. We take the time to interact with another being, and instead of at least trying to make it positive, time and time again we choose to make it abusive or at best ignorant.
I am just out of touch or is it everybody else who is wrong?
I think we all know the answer to that...
