Deadpan

Our thinking these days is rather deadpan, as if we have the ability to think but prefer not to, as if we want to be funny but haven’t got a sense of humour. If we’re timid thinkers we may have a reason not to think too hard. It might rock our image especially if it clashes with how we feel inside - we so badly want to be as others might see us.
If that sounds complicated, then perhaps it’s better to concentrate on what we say, concentrate on being creative, intelligent, funny, profound and non-judgemental in all our sentences. If we aren’t we may actually have nothing to say and might have to keep quiet. Maybe we should stay deadpan and unfathomable until we’re clearer who we are and what we want to say.
