Tell me if this sounds familiar: you’re strolling along somewhere, a sidewalk or street or alley…you know what? It doesn’t matter. Anyway, maybe you’re listening to painfully loud music or erratically skipping rope or counting handfuls of marbles—use your imagination I guess.
Suddenly a bolt of lightning tears through the edges of a disconnected, poorly defined ether to leave uneven skid marks filled with disproportionally contorted effervescence; only for the heinous claims being shouted from the sidelines to also be openly refuted. Then, as if no longer on-cue, a steady current of cold and polarized synergy sets itself apart from almost all the subsequent versions kept inside themselves long enough to disavow any unnecessary provocation.
Can you see where this might be a problem?
Being somewhat grounded (or at least assuming as such) any average applicant would surely be discouraged! Otherwise the “point” might never have a chance to be more thoroughly exploited. Staying with this theme, there may be more consequences than previously surmised, up to and including most forms of impractical divination.
The incursion of disarray may ultimately prove to be much less a form of set-dressing than the next purported transgression, neatly organized so that subsequent aberrations may be charted either for efficiency or posterity, depending on a wide array of external conditions. Don’t be surprised if this leads to one or more types of cloying absurdity couched in a dense expression meant to upend salvageable tropes! The damage sustained has every chance of being wholly unimpassive.
I know what you’re thinking. But what of the languishing platitudes left almost entirely by the wayside and forced into a variety of indistinguishable confluences expected to spring for their own blatant instability? Have they no recourse? Or shame? Probably not.
Just don’t expect the discombobulation, once rendered, to self-correct in such a way as to alter the guideline enough when robbed of options not buried under layers of indifferent complicity.
It’s just not how any of this works. Trust me on that.
