Human beings are essentially “herd animals,” and as such we tend to mimic each other’s speech patterns &/or vocabulary. As a result, our words often become overused until they lose much of their potency (if not all of their deeper meaning). With this in mind, choose to speak cryptically today — intermittently using silence, cliché & colloquialism when speaking to others (research the latter two on the web if you wish &/or look up Japanese Koans for inspiration) … Remember that your intentions are not to confuse or to annoy (though both might occur inadvertently), but rather to inspire others to Listen anew and think originally about their own ways of communicating.
