wow - more dismissal! tsk tsk you must have more choices than that - I mean it
gets boring after while!
... and what IS 'plain silly'? What emotion goes with that - rejection? ... and
so dismissal!? Boy - small repetoir! IMHO you need to spread out a bit more,
more choices, otherwise the prose gets 'bogged down'.
lets see, emotions, encoding of:
anger
sex/love
acceptance
surprise
anticipation
rejection
grief
fear
The first four cover a focus on REPLACEMENT of context, erradication of 'foe'.
The second four cover a focus on COEXISTENCE of context, having to share space
with 'foe'. You focused strongly on rejection - both proactively (original
statements) and reactively (recent statements) - so it seems to dominate your
style of thinking.... I wonder what affect that has on your style writing?
Practice. Try some of the others.
BTW:
From grief comes discernment.
From anticipation (of wrong doing) comes cultivation (anticipation of right
doing)
From anger comes singlemindedness (devotion to self)
From fear comes dualmindedness (devotion to another/others)
Have fun. Branch out.
