I remind you that

I remind you that... I remind you that I have practised sound design for the better part of 20 years. I remind you that I basically invented contemporary soundscape ecology, acoustic ecology, ecoacoustics, bioacoustics, etc.

I remind you that being the Man with the Recorder is a lot of work. I remind you that as I hold the digital recorder in my hand, I mustn't move, I mustn't even breath, least I myself show up in my recordings.

I remind you that I have worked very hard to achieve what I have achieved and that I will not accept you doubting the legitimacy of what I do. Lastly, I will remind you that I am my own final judge, and not you. Please keep your advice to yourself. Mind your own business, literally AND figuratively. This is my freely chosen profession and no one, nothing, can stop me from practising it, except my own will power, granted that I not fall into illness and disability.

What do you do for a living? I remind you that... I remind you that we all have a vocation in life, one just has to find and then observe it. I also remind you that it's okay to have a lot of thoughts, depiste what people say. Analysis actually leads to a traquil heart, not any form of "paralysis". If you don't like Wisdom A, change it for Wisdom B. If you don't like the smell of Wisdom, change its diapers. Something like that.
