An Actual Theory on Ramblings (May 1)

The freedom to blog whenever I want. I like that.

That, unfortunately, can also be the downside to the end of BEDA.

Why you might ask?

You have more time to compose your thoughts so you do not ramble.

Now, don’t get me wrong, for some people (namely me) our ramblings just come out boring and narrative in an uncreative way.

But for some people who ask the bigger questions and are trying to get more out of what they are blogging about, it’s a good thing to have them ramble.

If someone really makes you think it is good to hear both their complete thoughts so you can take out of them what you want, but also to hear their incomplete thoughts.

This comes from two different areas.

One, you can help them finish the thought or work through something they weren’t having much luck with before.

And two, if they only write down about half of their own theory on something you have never thought about it leaves room for you to interpret it yourself and add what you want onto the end of it.
It becomes more of an interactive thought than one that was just handed to you.
It becomes your thought, your theory. You don’t have to say, “Well I read this thing and it said”. No. You finished the thought yourself. Maybe what your read gave you the foundation for thinking, but you completed the thought yourself.

It’s yours.

You own it and you can change it whenever you would like.

Apart from that, random ramblings give you a better look at the person you’re talking to.
It’s like reading a rough draft instead of a final paper.
It makes them slightly less perfect and a little more tangible.

They’re a real person trying to work out ideas just like you are.

They don’t have all of the answers. No one does, but what they have come to conclusions on have been well thought through and revised a few times.

So thank you people with real thoughts and theories.
And I just want to say I don’t mind when you ramble, it’s good for my thought process.

(ha, i'm adding this at exactly 11:59 in my time zone, i'm good. even thought it really doesn't matter any more. I like to live on the very edge.)
