Mindfulls/Image/good writing

One of my many great loves of this site is the quality of writing.

Rarely, if ever, do you find a standard, unspoken, but understood that presence and SA are paramount to good statements if posting.

With that in mind, I think the only other person that possessed the power of language, image making and brevity with regard to this quote is Hemingway.

(actually it was a 1973 Ford Pinto with white letter tires and a glass-pack muffler.)

They hate him because they envy him even as they subconsciously despise themselves. He has a goddess for a wife while they sport hoodies and man buns, spouting inarticulate postmodernist drivel in a pathetic attempt to attract any available female; usually the ones driven by juvenile compassion and pathological altruism.

Very flattering...
...but now I have this terrible feeling, deep down in the pit of my stomach, that your flattery is buttering us up while you ask us if we will help you move, or you are winding up to make an AMWAY pitch.

You're in a cynicism level appreciated by people like Don Henley.

Perhaps he just wants an advance look at the forthcoming book...
you know, to do a simple courtesy proof-read.

(Note: Proofing for typos & grammar is NOT editing; never the twain shall meet.)
