Quote I write differently from what I speak, I speak...

“I write differently from what I speak, I speak differently from what I think, I think differently from the way I ought to think, and so it all proceeds into deepest darkness.” - Franz Kafka

Decryption of quote

Have you ever felt like there is a misalignment between your thoughts, words, and actions?

It's like there are multiple versions of yourself, each operating independently and sometimes contradicting one another. This quote perfectly captures that internal struggle we all face at some point in our lives.

When we write, we have the luxury of time to carefully craft our words and thoughts.

But when we speak, the words flow more freely, often revealing a different side of ourselves that we may not have been aware of.

And then there's the way we think, which can be influenced by societal norms, expectations, and past experiences.

It's easy to get lost in this maze of conflicting thoughts, words, and actions, leading us into a state of confusion and darkness.

But perhaps this darkness is where we find our true selves.

It's in the depths of our confusion and inner turmoil that we can uncover our most authentic thoughts and feelings.

Embracing this complexity can lead us to a deeper understanding of ourselves and the world around us.

So, let us not be afraid of the darkness within us, for it is in that darkness that we may find the light we have been searching for all along.
