Okay, so let's chat about "writing" and "talking," but mostly about "talking back." It's a classic human pastime, like arguing about pizza toppings, and it's especially popular in the creative zones. (Quick historical detour: you know what always gets targeted first in wars? Heritage and knowledge. Just a fun fact from your Middle Eastern pal. Anyway, back to the topic...)

Why is it that the moment you open your mouth or put pen to paper, everyone suddenly becomes a world-renowned expert in your life? Share your experiences? Prepare for the onslaught! Whoever said "sharing is caring" was definitely talking about cookies, not opinions. Especially not facts.

Think about it: poets got the short end of the stick, female authors were paid in eye-rolls, and spokespeople? They basically wear a "kick me" sign. The second you express yourself, it's a battle of opinions and "alternative facts." And even "scientifically proven" doesn't work on everyone. (Especially those with a healthy dose of "spiritual scepticism.")

We read to relate, but even then, we're judged by our literary choices. It's like, "Oh, you're reading that author? Clearly, you're a monster." People love to question, but hate being questioned. It's a duality thing, like cats and cucumbers.

Basically, for every opinion, there's an equal and opposite counter-opinion. And if you dare to write or speak about it? Boom! Suddenly, everyone sees themselves in your words, even if you were writing about your pet hamster's existential crisis.

So, brace yourself. Be ready for the "feedback" (aka, the opinion storm). Write like you're playing chess, ten steps ahead, and speak with a smile, even when you're internally rolling your eyes. Because the battle for knowledge and legacy? It's not just happening between countries, it's happening at the dinner table.
