I’m by nature a pretty cynical person. Yeah, I know that that’s not necessarily the greatest personality trait to admit to, but it’s kind of true. Thoughts go through my mind all the time whenever I see certain things, and it’s often times a mental scale being weighed on whether or not I should say them, or express them on social media. I thought about it today, and if I had to place a number on the thoughts that I don’t say, I’d would probably venture something like 85-90% of thoughts that might come off as cynically skeptical do not make it through the pipes and out of my mouth or typed by my fingers.
As a sample, here’s a thought I had that I’ll share on my brog because only six people read it, but wouldn’t share on social media, because that would paint me publicly as a curmudgeon:
Nobody who’s already been to a prior Comic Con actually envies those who are going for the present one.
