Those further away from life speak of it with extreme proximity, everything said being large and full, big words that are close and closed. Words close to others and far from themselves are words unliveable and un-lived, holding life and exposing it. In always coming very close to something the word come close to everything, with lots being said in very few words. Which is itself a cliche’ saying more than it thinks, being confused with lot’s left unsaid in very few words. These big words are not those long and complicated ones, those being only the biggest in terms of the words content, the worst at hiding the bigness we’re talking of. These big words are the least dangerous as they aren’t intimate, their larger size is used against themselves to approach life with the words guise of distance. The blatant insecurity of such speakers is nothing to reproach, life is still cared for and it is their own which isn’t cared of enough; words that know too well they are big.
The big words we are dealing with are treated smaller than they are because they are big, carrying more than needed. This is best described with the analogy of a subject who is obscured from being too close to the camera lens. The photo isn’t close to being taken because the subjects too close to the untaken photo, so close that the photographer is unsure what the subject is close to. The photographer has distanced himself by modelling himself against the subject, becoming the subject of the photo never taken instead. Having used the subject for photography the photographer cannot use the camera, like the big words relied on which restrict the life lived before having to speak. Where life speaks very little in order to speak all of life.
Contrarily, those closer to life speak of it from a distance, saying a lot with a lot of words and always having more to say. These words themselves are quiet and discrete. Speaking ibecomes less of a necessity and so when they do speak and say a lot, much isn’t heard. Depending where you are, one sounds as the other, big words spoken as smaller than life say less to sound more of life, smaller words spoken as bigger than life say more to sound less of life.
