art is a method. it is one of many. yet it is the opposite of many methods. no method is a gift, though many are strongly offered. speech is a gift, though at times we wrongly suffer for it. and so what is the point of speech? expression. you can express with a gun much easier than with a bottle of wine and a pen. at least the latter helps you parse out which side to choose. the previous is measured in thoughtless rounds per second and lethal/non-lethal methods. Use your gift of speech young writer. always do the right thing. you know what it is. it’s not easy. in the future you’ll remember yourself better.
