Grasp the brilliance and move with it

8/2/2017

An orator is someone who has come to grips with the human condition, humanity's relationship to creation and the need for a human direction that will guarantee the peaceful coexistence of human beings with all things under creation and who can present this as story in ordinary and entertaining language. The point of oratory is to create a passionate feeling for life and help people understand the need for change or preservation as the case may be. No brilliance exists outside of the ability of human beings to grasp the brilliance and move with it. Thus we say what we think. No thought is understood outside of humans' interactions with one another, their condition, and their environment. So we present thought through story, human beings doing something, real characters working out the process of thought/feeling and being.
