Deleted54170User Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 Have you ever heard of a collection of books called, "The Great Conversation"? If so, then you would see my words in a different light. The way you imagined; and more so. In my writings, stories if you want to call them that, I am writing conversation to a friend, a mentor, a leader, a father, a mother, or an individual. The words are all meant as to be a written letter to mail to them. A letter that would be understood by the person I send them to. Because we share, and shared, conversations in our language before it became corrupted by new meanings for our words, or slang changing the sound; pronunciation or enunciation drastically. I write to the others when I think about the subjects of our materialistic studies we began together. The great conversation is a collection of educated people letters on their shared studies, studied observations, the hypothesis they shared, and the like. Teachers, prophets, mentors, parents too who educated them selves and their children. A school full of students if you think about it that way. Educated people. You are very well educated. You use words very good. When I remember a conversation on material that I last spoke with another I want to continue that conversation; I write it down. To save it so when they return, or not, they can give it consideration and see what I added. What I gave thought to on the discussion we ended on before we parted. I added to what was already known in a letter to send them, if need be. Often I added a reference in a view of my studies we both were thinking about involved in looking for conclusive theories or combined knowledge to solve a problem. I found answers to a problem that was helpful. I knew it would be to a friend. The friend in turn realized an addition to the circumstances and sent me the additional notes too. A conclusion was reached on one of the studies we worked on trying to reach a conclusion that would fit the situation. We ended with a new method that applied with the new proper way made something work that didn't before. What my letters mean to me and them isn't often realized by anyone else. You have to be a part of the reason for a conversation to understand what it's about to begin with. You of all people I have read, your threads, your posts, and I find just as much confidence understanding words, in what words you use to what they mean, I just find it as you would first with a new friend, they are like a book and I am like a student reading an ancient text in a language I've only barely learned to read. Especially; life for us seems difficult to understand words ordered in certain conjunctions you made for me to think about and I made in response to see if we comprehended each other. It is always difficult at first when two people meet because we are new to each other. We haven't found ground to start a conversation clearly understanding each other while we try to on a topic which we both reason with but speak about it with different perspectives. At first we know little or nothing that the other, you, already know. We might have read the others words in their works on subject, and still when we finally meet and want to talk about that we find a gap. We haven't been talking about anything before we get to meet so there is that gap. You have reached new conclusions I don't know about yet. Frustrating at that point to have to start over if you didn't keep notes for your fan to read to catch up, because we have to talk about it, you have to start all the way back at where your words in a text or letter left off until you bring me up to the present status of the work. I have been reasoning with knowledge for so long, like you have too, if I began to talk to you about what I know from the beginning of my research into any subject to bring you up to date; it could take a very long time for me, and you would have to be patient listening until I reasoned to a degree where I found my focus was near where unfounded information I wanted to find was. That point is where we all end up when we haven't reasoned out a problem to a sensible conclusion. You would do the same when you found that point. We both know it. It's that point in our studies when we find our selves faced with the UNKOWN. My mentors are still, their minds have ceased to share, the world I live in continues; with me thinking and when I returned to a topic I reasoned about with those others, long ago, I write to them about it and use the method to review our studies, and finalize. If I find a positive method works I can finalize I write it down to send a note to them to find out if they concur. Written to my dear friends even after they have been gone for a lot of years. Even when they are dead, I write them because they are a credit to my survival. I write what I have learned into the letters to add to the log of successful conclusions. I treat their work, I learned from and their words in letters with respect. I am remembering them when I write them, I am continuing our conversation to find conclusions to every day problems, even when I am the only candle still burning. Friends. I still reason with the living words which are those of my acquaintances, you, and all the other people I have found working on problems that are unresolved. I won't forget you. And if my spirit can carry you to safety with words I wrote and you find some day. that help you resolve another problem then I am blessed and live in those words that give you the way to continue to live, enjoy your lives. I won't forget you, even when I was about bringing attention to the still, whose bodies spirits departed, I was even preparing to share in any way I could when and after they passed away. I have been writing to scholars, all of you, all of you are magnificent people each in your own ways. A man searched many years to discover the perfect lotus blossom. On his dying day he looked out at the trees budding lotus blossoms and said, "Now I know why I haven't been able to find the perfect one. They are all perfect."

What's it pay? :D That depends on how many magazines, newspapers, sold during it's published time, and also on whether it gets a monthly bunch of new subscribers. too; And how much it's worth to the Publisher. :happy: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deleted54170User Posted February 10, 2019 Author Share Posted February 10, 2019 The editor gets a salary which fluctuates with the companies financial status by the month or the year. Depending on how well the mag., newspaper, or other company is doing. Are you interesting in finding a job as an editor working for a magazine, newspaper, or radio & television company? Hm? (Maybe I should start thinking about starting a magazine company?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
