Utterance

If you have a thought and, even if it’s worth remembering, if you don’t utter it quickly enough, it will probably be forgotten. Forgotten by who? Well first of all, forgotten by yourself, and after you, everyone else. Well everyone else wouldn’t know it in the first place to forget it but you know what I mean. Their ability to know it and afterwards forget it is dependent on you being faithful to it and uttering it, say writing it down, giving it some kind of material substance so it can appear and dwell for a little in the public world rather than being confined, because of your laziness, for a few brief moments in the private world of your mind. And if we are too lazy to bother uttering the thoughts that come along, giving them substance, then we’ll probably find we won’t be graced with their presence too often, that is the presence of the thoughts worth remembering. The ones not worth remembering though, we’ll probably have an abundance of them.
