Paranoia

"Your mind is working at its best when you are being paranoid.

You explore every avenue and possibility of your situation

at high speed with total clarity."

Banksy

As a writer, I have a high awareness of actions and communications. My mind has been programed over the years to pay attention to body language and clarity of truth. I am actively listening and tend to retain conversations, especially when they do not align. Now I am experiencing bouts of paranoia.

My fancy 16 Smartphone alters things I am writing, causing me to monitor my own statements. Then there is Facebook where my blog posts are being delayed, pictures not accompanying entries and on occasion articles totally removed. My Facebook account has algorithms that shift my focus away from where I want to go.

My thinking is quite speculative, but admittedly, I become confused by unexpected censorship or lack there of. There is hesitation when I do searches as well as when I respond. I am careful with what I say and to whom I say it. I am concerned as to what is happening to the freedom of the people by the people.
