If these two authors (Morrison and Wallace) had a nice night
out to talk to each other in the same sense they wrote these pieces in, they
might talk about how their writings are similar in talking about how to use your power. Morrison would talk about and tell you there are
ways you can use your language in a more powerful way, instead of abusing the
language that you should embrace it and use it to the fullest of your
abilities.
Wallace would talk about how your mind thinks in so many
different ways but that we are in a default-setting that is set to think in a “negative
mindset” sort to speak. He says specifically that, ”…Everything in my own
immediate experience supports my deep belief that I am the absolute center of
the universe, the realest, most vivid and important person in existence.” (pg.
2) He would say the way you think about things could be powerful thoughts.
If they were to exchange each others ideas to one another, Morrison
would express that you need to use your thoughts to use and exploit your vocabulary
and language to the fullest power of your ability. Wallace would agree saying the
way you think about any given situation would effect the type of language you plan
on using to describe the event. Also saying that if you think about other
people, then maybe you could or would be more understanding to a negative outcome
you weren’t happy with, therefore giving you a positive mind.
I totally agree with what you have said about the authors writings being similar in the sense that they are explaining how to use your power and think about life in a sense that you as one human being, do not know everything. Wallace tells us about how your brain has multiple ways of seeing and responding to all kinds of things and how you can sort of try and retrain yourself to think in a happier, more positive way, which like you said is very powerful. I think you are completely right about Morrison and Wallace agreeing about the way language, and power effect the way our brains manipulate things. Wallace and Morrison both focus a lot on language and also how to think and put other people before yourself and to think about what they have been through in their life and not to jump to conclusions so quickly.
