Words or Pictures WAS Re: Adult Forum Needed for Adult Topics

[Guest guest]

Okay, let me try again. My question is about preferred method of

perception. Since I have never studied this topic formally, I'm afraid

my language is going to be imprecise, so feel free to correct me (that

goes for everybody).

I love to read but it is a form of distance, boundary setting, second

hand experience because I am hypersensitive to visuals I realize now.

My preferred language is visual, I'm discovering as I teach myself to

draw.

Words feel alien, dear to me as they are. But they make me tired,

sometimes I feel that too much of my brain has been devoted to words

for entirely too long. Interesting to think how short a period that

humanity has spent with the written word in any sizable percentage.

My question to you is this: do you respond more to the written word or

to visual imagery? I originally wrote about violence because

that is what causes a reaction in many people, but you could pick

anything that gives you joy as well. So, something that makes you very

happy, would it give you more joy to read about it or to see it on tv?

We don't have

to continue with this if you don't want to, but I've been fighting

an internal battle with myself related to this topic so thank you for

inspiring me to 'talk' it out. :-)
