Writing promotes philosophy? Writing is philosophy!

Writers are the best philosophers because they have a vast vocabulary and they have a broad knowledge of multiple subjects instead of narrowing on a particular. They have a very peculiar outlook on life and no matter what the situation or subject is they DO UNDERSTAND but they see it in a way that others do not. Sometimes I feel like I'm smarter than the average bear if they don't see it through my eyes. This is the opinion of a writer. Myself.

I consider those who reach beyond their expertise and reach beyond their limits on parchment are indeed philosophers. I just happen to be one of them. I take on the world like any other woman and like any person, who has just graduated college, I'm trying to make a name for herself in the world. But I have already made a name for myself. Not on a trophy or an award per say but on this piece of electronic parchment and the other pieces of parchment I have written on, published, or in case typed.

My name, a person's name, or even a fictional being can be made without any significant events. I sign my name on papers and applications all the time and every time I can tell it is not the same 
as the signature before. A good analogy to this is that my writing or focus of writing is always different. I could write a thriller story about a mysterious murder and then other times just rant on like a lunatic whose had too much booze to swallow. But I guess that is how you stand out from others in society. You have to be that lunatic. I am that lunatic. Never in a million years would I say that I am a lunatic but when it comes to writing passionately about things that no one else understands I might as well have a mental illness.

Now don't think that just because I said I am a lunatic that I am one or that any writer is psycho crazy. We each have our viewpoints and we want to grasp an audience that shares our viewpoints and will hopefully share them with the world. Most people think we have irrational minds or that we don't read the lines. Actually we do read the lines but we sometimes sneak in some statements that come from between the lines too so that the person we are talking to or the topic we are discussing has a joint standard. The joint standard simply means that the argument or declaration we are making has more than one attitude and it becomes the reader's decision on where it leads. Though not all writers provide the opportunity of joint standard to peek out in their writings we are open to other's opinions and we accept their feedback as their own philosophies. Capital idea to respect another's writing, isn't it?

For my writing personally I accept compliments and criticism no matter how angelic or vulgar. I respect all opinions from all walks of life and it never seizes to amaze me the multiple viewpoints society has. Though I may not agree with all of them and I cannot clearly see the vison I do try and get a grasp on them and get a better explanation or thought process. By keeping the open mind, I do become inspired by the multiple comments and the multiple possibilities around me to think outside the box. As I've said throughout college and as I'm saying now writers are philosophers and being a writer you have to accept that there is no finish line. If you set a finish line you won't get much of anywhere. If no line is drawn then the universe is yours.

Reliving Colonial America?

After countless hours of researching, watching documentaries, and gathering multiple comments and feedback from social media I've come to the conclusion or analogy that we are somewhat reliving history.

Since this election started, accusations and distrust have plagued America and its citizens. it reminds me of when I learned about the Salem Witch Trials of 1693 when Puritan citizens would accuse each other of witchcraft and consulting with the devil or in America's case immoral views (witchcraft) and political advisors (demons/ "The Devil"). The Salem Witch Trials teared through colonial America and consumed the lives of almost 50 people; this did not include the lives taken during the 300 years of witch trials in Europe.

Since the election race has begun Americans have chosen sides and accused each other of immoral crimes of which I shall not disclose and disseminating the goals that each candidate has to improve the "land of the dream". It's like a tug of war. It's like we've traveled back to the time of suspicion and treason and dug ourselves a hole that we may never get out of.

I don't know why this election isn't like the rest. Maybe it's because I do not favor either candidate but as an Independent and an independent thinker I favor my moral beliefs and causes more and I stand by what I believe in without choosing a side. Maybe it's because I have more fear in this election than any other because I fear that either way the river runs we will lead our country towards destruction or another civil war. I do not know the future or what it entails. All I know is that we may be reliving a dark time in American history.
