Would you like to know the difference between me and K? (I am pretending you said yes, you would.) K uses words like dodgeballs, throwing as many as possible, as fast as possible. A hailstorm, a maelstrom, a tidal wave of words washes over me and I am drowning in them, and so I say nothing while I try to catch my breath and K celebrates a victory in leadership.
Me, I think words are like a game of Jenga, and I can only insert one here if I remove one from there. Words should be thoughtfully selected, measured and poured. Words are limited and precious, and must be employed strategically with no waste. Words are more powerful when there are less of them.
I do not know if one of us is more right than the other. But I know we are playing two very different games.
