The girl who says all the right things like a textbook. The poor girl doesn’t know that her eyes flash doubt. Little does she know, her audience is already sickeningly familiar with the rhetoric she dogmatically regurgitates. Some of her audiences are in fact, more acquainted with that ‘textbook’ than herself. But of course, because they know more, they tend to remain silent, as is usually the case with people who ‘know a lot’ to their peril. And then, this knowledgeable silence gets misinterpreted as ignorance by the ignorant. The otherwise lovely girl doesn’t seem to realise she is fooling herself more than anyone else with the ideologies that seem to have entrapped her. Nothing is as unflattering as a conversation that can be predicted with a significant and an unfortunate degree of precision.
