While I'd not be surprised to find myself starving; I don't think I'll take back many of the words I've said. I had to look up "sophism;" it's not a certainty that you'll be bombarded, but I am prone to wax that way.
I don't write in the manner that I do in order to impress anyone or to foster an image of myself - whether artificial or genuine - but to accurately, poignantly represent what it is that I mean to convey. I don't keep a dictionary and thesaurus at ready reference; nor do I approach communication as a competition or a chore. I don't see my chosen (evolved as much as chosen) manner of locution as being superior to others(') - merely one that I am accustomed to using and have found to accommodate comfortably and naturally my demeanor and aims.
My vocabulary is a means to an end: revealing to others my own inner workings; it is that, and the agent through which I translate others' meanings, of course. Language is a flawed vessel - another example of the finite pieces of the absolute with and within which we live and interact.
If there are literary works - philosophical, or theological, or somehow pertinent to the ideas that I gravitate towards discussing - it's likely not one that I've read. I've read little since high school. I'm not here to tout the ideas of others as my own, but to proffer my own unique ideas and perspective for evaluation whilst observing yours.
And stuff.
