I haven't written anything in ages, and I'm beginning to doubt myself, so here's something I wrote in a very short span of time, but I hope you like it. Please comment, and don't be too nice (or too mean... :P). And yes, profundity is a word.
Who is to say a written work is profound? Who is this "official profundity-rater" that decides the worth of a text? To go down in history as "a writer of many profound truths", do we need to shmooze up to him like a common magazine writer? Or can we, as authors, decide for ourselves whether our work is profound or not? I believe this is the right choice, because if a writer decides his work is not profound, he will take it and change it until it is. That way, there will be many more profound writings in the world, much more than if one "profundity-rater" decided what would touch each of our hearts. I believe that choice is ours.
Well spoken! Amen!
ReplyDeleteAh! You have such a perfect british accent, Kayla.
ReplyDeleteBrilliant! However, I do have a suggestion that will make it more powerful (thank you, Mr. Benson): don't say "I think" or "I believe." You're sure of yourself! Don't say, "*I believe* this is the right choice." Say, "This *is* the right choice! Commit!
