Post-Stoic Rage

There was a time when I believed that all arguments could be won be reason, logic, and academic argument.  A time when I felt that emotion only clouded issues that could be better solved with stale reasoned thoughts.  But the problem is - most people do not exist in a world where logical explanations will settle any doubts, fears, and prejudices.  Emotion is in fact more important than truth itself.

And to that I yield.  I give in to the rage within. If the cost of freedom of speech is a near deafening din of noise - then I add my screams.  Not to win an argument or to convince anyone - for what can I give to convince anyone of anything - I speak because otherwise I must live in a more twisted place.  A place without a voice.  Almost like living in the United States without a vote. Kind of like living in D.C.

Of thee I sing...
