When we live our life in the present, being in the moment,
we can develop a love-hate relationship with people and things we encounter
daily.
We don’t “love to hate” these; we love them at some times
while at other times we hate them. We may happily encounter and deal with them,
then on a day not too far away, we groan and say, “Not today, please, not
today.”
That contradiction, that contrariness, is engrained in our
human nature. We aren’t changing our minds. Five days from now, love will
re-emerge. When someone reminds us “You said you hated thus-and-so,” we retort “When
did I ever?”, conveniently forgotten.
As writers, we work to keep the predominant mood of a work.
We don’t wish to confuse a reader. In longer works, we can gradually shirt the
mood, dark to bright, Shorter works are better with one mood.
We have strong tools to create mood and manipulate our
audience with that mood. Our words are influencers upon the world.
