As Per The Usual, An Analysis In Alphabetical Notation ….

As per the usual

Becoming more than a

Centrist in a political

Debate is relatively

Easy, because

Forming a opinion is often based on emotions, which are strong. that’s a

Given. The hard part though; is

Having the courage of your convictions.

Its easy among friends, they won’t

Judge you harshly.

Knowing that makes it effortless for a

Layman. Though the very lack of struggling often leads to

Mediocrity. And that, my friends, is definitely

Not something to aspire to.

Opine if you will, because

People often do, but I would advise you to

Quell that instinct. For it will lead you to

Ruination. As well as a general malaise and

Sophistry in your arguments. A

Telling lack of depth which will

Undergird your position with a paucity of

Verve and strength.

Would you trade that for a few easy style points?

Xerxes wouldn’t. And I don’t believe

You would settle for anything less than the meaningful, true feeling of

Zen achieved by winning your debate on solid, intellectual foundations.

Be good everyone,
