My perspective on all that I write is that we share opinions, but the problem arises when some feel that their ideas reach beyond anyone else. What I just described could be interpreted as irony or subtle sarcasm with a distinct message that carries no rebuttal. Is it not ironic that most people want to be heard but have no tolerance for listening? The irony of most things falls into the category of being empathetic versus being sympathetic. Though everyone wishes to be trusted, the irony of trust falls short of being authentic because it’s better to receive than to give to anyone or anything. Another example of what is construed as irony is the phrase, “the blind leading the blind.”
Surely one would agree that the definition of a cliche, or translating to what is considered standard, is simply something that everyone says based on circumstance. For instance, to tell you to love someone to the moon and back means nothing unless that love is seen and practiced. Using words or phrases to impress becomes the commonality of convenience rather than the idea of sincerity. Both terms are declared opposites; each dish doesn’t carry weight within the realm of being real versus being fake. The overuse of any communication that has been heard too often discloses the absence of acceptance or any thought that would be considered original.
Words used indiscriminately without the thought of what words mean and how words are used are the mistake of many. Carrying a label of being a poor communicator speaks more to becoming a better speaker than resting on the idea of being uninformed.
