Writers Make Connections
“Writers differ from all other creative types in that they suffer the illusion that the world really needs to hear what they have to say.” -Rollo May Ph.D.
Jackie Danicki recently came across the above quote from America’s best known existential psychologist. But she ain’t buying it.
As soon as I read that quotation, I knew it was the misguided sentiment of a socialist. When you no longer view “the world” as a faceless, voiceless collective and instead see it for what it is - made up of distinct, wonderful, flawed individuals - losing self-consciousness in the doing of good is no longer a problem.
Danicki believes that social media services like Twitter, blogs, Flickr and Facebook expands her world, making it “more special and more populated with valued people.” Amen to that, sister.
Footnote: I found Danicki on Twitter.
