"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

Would you agree that those who control literature control or at least have an extreme influence on what/ how people think?
 

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

I thought this was going to be a thread discussing great literature, lol. That'd be a welcome change from all the political threads.

Who is it that really "controls" literature? The government? It can only do so much. Did you know that prisoners of conscience in England during WWI secretly circulated newsletters to one another that were written on squares of toilet paper?

Controlling information has always been an aim of authorities, for the very reason you posit: literature influences what and how people think. It spreads ideas.

I don't think the government controls it. I think it's privately owned.
