Food for Thought

I wonder how much thought is actually behind things that people say? 9 out of 10 things that come from someone’s mouth might have been just blurted out, like a reflex, a reaction. Or 9 out of 10 things might have been carefully constructed and refined through meticulous thought processes and question-fires.

I think I want to train myself to be more thoughtful; both on the fly and off the record.
