i feel fast. rage, hurt, unfairness. but knowing how to react or even the reasons for the feelings is slow like digesting a heavy meal, and then when the evolution from snap feeling to reasoned argument occurs, i am lost as to what to do with my reasoning. people don’t like it when you track wrongs. retrospective arguments are annoying. but because i think slowly they’re often the only sort i get to have so i begin on the wrong foot every time.

Yes, but the tortoise wins the race.

Remember what Winston Churchill said Worms. He had a slight speech impediment which was ridiculed by an opposition MP in the House of Commons. He replied,”Madam, my guns may be slow, but they are exceedingly powerful!”π

It has to be said, though, he had no trou Le thinking on his feet. We had a politician who was good with come-backs. I think it was Gough Whitlam. They were brilliant. But I would hate to be on the receiving end. Some were quite cutting.

Lady Astor once accused him of being drunk. His riposte was,”And you, madam, are ugly, but I will be sober in the morning!” How cutting is that!

It feels sometimes like I seem to start almost every dialogue out of sync or on the wrong foot. I end up second-guessing myself so much that engaging at all feels like a really bad idea.
Makes it really kinda special when I surprise myself.
