The author reflects on the tendency of people to display their worst qualities when asked to express their thoughts in writing. This observation stems from a situation where individuals feel empowered to share their opinions, often leading to negative and flawed expressions. In a context that resembles a quick and superficial form of democracy, these writings can reveal more about the writers' shortcomings than about constructive discourse.

In a society where instant communication is common, the invitation to write can become a double-edged sword. Instead of fostering meaningful dialogue, it may prompt people to react impulsively, showcasing their insecurities and flaws. The author suggests that this phenomenon highlights a broader critique of how democratic processes can sometimes devolve into mere appearances, lacking genuine engagement and understanding.
