stating a goal allows for it to be appreciated at face value

scorned

minimized

sabotaged

undermined

because saying it out loud requires the cooperation of the whole system

writing it down means someone else could read it

judge it

question it

make fun of it

laugh and say "that's it?"

to say with the Limpet's tenacity that I will persist

and endure any torment

or else I agree it's silly too

If I don't bet on it, all-in all the way, what conviction do I really have?
