#My harshness and sarcasm and disapproval is the least that I deserve to express as a human being

Here's one easy trick to become a better conversationalist

Become more jaded

#I don't know what happened in the transition to November but after getting sick and then being tired from being sick #And then being even more tired from a conference #I feel like my words come out of my mouth with more ease than they ever have in my entire life #There's something of an unique experience to see human suffering in front of your eyes at such a large scale #Because you suddenly realize more than ever that what you say and what you do at work doesn't matter at a larger scale. It DOESN’T MATTER #How can I pretend our pretend problems carry any weight in the real world when we see a genocide unfold in front of our eyes #But deny to call it such #How am I supposed to keep my mouth shut and my sentences politically neutral with such injustice around the world #So what do I care about carefully weighing my words or being softer than I am or inadvertenty appearing more demure than I am #I just say exactly what comes to mind. I let the empty space around me become mine. I stop being worried about appearing 'opinionated' #My harshness and sarcasm and disapproval is the least that I deserve to express as a human being #But that doesn't mean I allow myself to become rude or disrespectful. I just allow myself to be who I am at a realer level #You turn that sharpness into productive energy. Ask more questions. Respond with more kindness. Give more money to those in need #Show vigour to those that deserve it #Reserve the ruthlessness to those that truly deserve it #— #My words get sharper and my mind gets more alert with every act of unfairness I'm forced to see in the world #I've come to realize I'm driven by anger. I don’t like that
