I often wish I had a different message than whatever it is I'm saying that day.

But something I've learned is that we don't necessarily choose our messages. Often they seem to choose us.

What is making you uncomfortable for everyone's overlooking it?

Now, did you choose that?

If you're quite wrong about it, did you choose to be quite wrong? Was that your preference? Did you know?

The best we can do is try to disprove what we have to say.

This is odd because it means that when we have something to say, we go through a process to shut ourselves up first.

If it's worth saying, not everyone agrees yet.

If not everyone agrees yet, someone's mistaken.

If someone's mistaken, that could be you.

If it isn't you, then you've got something to be grateful for, and a reason not to be too shitty to someone mistaken.

All this seems perfectly obvious.

Oh, I exaggerate: I also have some questions and am not sure.

There is a kind of Zen to maintaining unsureness over everything.

Any time you stand up, you know you could fall down. Any time you take a breath in, you know you might never breathe in again. These are not too threatening. You recognize them so often that they're commonplaces.
