• To blah is not to blah. To blah is setting aside a part of you, coloured in a mirage that actually exists, and physically doesn't.

The emperor (needs) new clothes???

"To blah is to set aside a part of me...covered in a mirage ....a part that actually exists but physically doesn't" said a friend to me. Wondering how she knew that, I realized it was because all our thought clouds are made of blahs. It is not an escape but an easy exit to think all the thoughts that would otherwise need a justification and evoke a judgment.
We all blah blah all the time, it is only when they seem adorned in civilized finery do we express them in front of others. But, a naive question here, if all of us blah blah then why can't we tell each other? After all your blah and my blah might be similar, and who knows they might not need a gentleman's clothing to be presented in front of the world.
The "naked truth" they say is ugly. But perhaps if we stop focusing so much on its nakedness and instead focus on the noun that accompanies this ugly adjective, might we be able to accept it and like it for what it is.
So blahs, I shall not adorn thee, well except for giving you'll the occasional scarf or a nice tie pin. Just that. And if you have objections too, let me know...I shall rush and get you that pretty shawl I saw at the shop window.
