Twitter tricked me into thinking all I need to do to absorb wisdom is click a little star. (Or a heart.)
That’s not how it works. Wisdom is hard-won. And fleeting. It can’t just be handed to you. You can’t just read an aphorism or a quote or a blog post.
Then Twitter tricked me into thinking all I need to do to absorb an idea is express it in 140 characters.
Also not how it works. I get more out of expanding an idea than I do out of expressing it elegantly. Thinking about examples or ways to restate it forces me to chew on it.
