A lot of modern writing feels like you're getting hammered over the head with words. Maybe that's the point to get you into submission to buy something or blindly follow. It's a big reason I've been reading more fiction and poetry. Even if some of the fiction writing can be too flowery, at least they care about a sentence.
One instance I see of this is the repetitive short chunk after a statement.
You want to be like a river. Flowing. Bubbling. Effervescent. Heading downstream.
It's like a staccato chaos. Maybe good for rap music but it breaks the brain down. Just write a better sentence of what you are trying to say.
You see the inverse too.
You need to be pathless. Not climbing. Not grinding. Not achieving. Just pathless. (what is the point of a sentence like this?)
if you tell someone they are bad at running, they typically don't get offended
but if you tell someone they suck at earning money, it pierces deep
you can use this to make tons of money selling info products to people.
money is the only thing we all have to do and in a culture that tells us our ability to earn it equals our worth
