Persuasion

Concord in echo chambers means so little. How do you make an impact on someone very different from you? How can you bridge the gap between mental worlds? Gather threads into cohesion, weaved through with reason? How do you whittle the tongue just right? Balance volume with silence, authenticity with deftness, vocabulary with simplicity? Starting is rough when you are verbose without filter. How do you move with energy that is welcoming, yet unassuming? What’s the path to learn passwords that can break through walls and barriers. Or rather, let you walk in elegantly through the front door. Be welcomed in like family not a stranger? How do you design a message without killing the messenger? Because you are the messenger. I don’t know, I don’t know, but I must know, because knowing isn’t enough, and action only scales in numbers. How do you get a tiger to change its stripes?
