There is something so refreshing, therapeutic and refining about randomly baring one's soul to the piercing and curious eyes of the world. The opportunity of prepared self-expression is a catharsis of the mind and soul, an opportunity to let my thoughts and feelings stand for inspection and purification before a diverse and harsh jury. The process can be lengthy and painful, but the end result is a finer, purer, a more cutting and effective expression of thought. And there are few prices I would not pay for the synthesis of truth and thought into one bright and piercing weapon.
