Pause for Thought

Pause for Thought

From comedian & writer Paul Kerensa:

Today鈥檚 a big day for me 鈥� I click 鈥楽end鈥� on my 3rd book, off to the publishers who鈥檒l then click 鈥楶rint鈥�, and select 鈥楥opies 鈥� 3鈥� on the printer options, to meet all of the pre-orders. It鈥檚 been a daunting week of proof-reading version after version, knowing that when it鈥檚 gone, it鈥檚 gone 鈥� it鈥檒l be too late to change anything. Like the 鈥渄eliberate mistakes鈥� in my first two books, errors will be there for eternity, to be tutted at by generations to come.

When writing a book or a script, the end-result feels final: we pore over every word. In my night job as a stand-up comic, the writing feels disposable 鈥� material is said and done, and probably forgotten on the way home. Yet recently I went back to a comedy club I'd not played for a decade 鈥� and there was a guy there who still had the nickname I gave him on the night ten years earlier. I'd forgotten it but he hadn鈥檛 鈥� his friends wouldn鈥檛 let him. Just because it鈥檚 not written down, words spoken do leave an imprint on reality.

More and more I鈥檓 thinking of the responsibility of words: onstage or off, in private, in public or on social media which can feel like a mix of the two. Words we say cannot be unsaid.聽聽 Emails and Facebook posts can be recalled and deleted, but rarely does a friend say, 鈥淵ou know that comment I made about your haircut? Can I retract that now I鈥檝e thought about it?鈥�

New laws on internet trolls show the world reacting to changes in the ways we use words. There鈥檚 a proverb in the Bible: 鈥淕racious words are like a honeycomb, sweetness to the soul and health to the body.鈥� And the American writer Jim Stovall noted: 鈥淚n the end, a person is only known by the impact they have on others.鈥�

Whether we鈥檙e writing books or tweets, or having a chat on a bus, may our words today be honeycomb. Encourage or discourage, the choice is yours.

As for that comedy club punter who gained a nickname from me, I hope he forgives me a decade on. If you鈥檙e listening: Sorry, but you did look a lot like Barney Rubble.
