In language arts it became clear that an author's intentions aren't always clear to the reader through the author's works, regardless of how intelligent the reader was nor how intelligent the reader thought they were. Awkwardly is that neither philosophy nor the schools of debate have born nor paved way to a world of practicing students that are willing, in their practice, to show confession to this knowledge.
As someone who authors words in most forms of communication, articulating on artistic rather than tangible terms and using English more like a secondary than primary language in certain interpretations of the manner of conversing, it is sometimes irritating to speak with someone who is fond of the schools of things as with knowledge, debate or proofs. They seem to think they have accurately understood intentionally vague or abstract manners of speaking only to then go about trying to disprove and revoke concepts that have not entered the conversation at all.
Their confidence is immeasurable and their power to hear about it is stubbornly against any rebuke. Meanwhile, it may well be that the certainty of the statement as they're challenging was foolproof, but due to their eagerness to disdain their perceived reinterpretation of its words' claim, all that can be heard is that they think the speaker irreversibly wrong, and the speaker's intended topic is clearly not a part of the conversation at all.
However, the author's works may well have been worthwhile, and it is a shame that the reader did not interpret them correctly before responding. Therein is it a kindness I ask of all that, before disdaining something, be willing ask for correction and clarification concerning your own personal interpretation of a work of words, hopefully that one might come to understand what was said before they disprove what they chose in what was heard.
Thank you to anyone willingly to listen, that they take advantage of the opportunity to ask questions of an Author, as can be done when they speak their works in person, but cannot so readily be done when they have many years ago passed and their works are merely read in the classroom.
