Someone once told me, and I do believe this, that a story or informational statement has four main things: 1. a beginning 2. a middle 3 an end 4. a point. With that in mind why do people feel the need to ramble on pointlessly?

I do or maybe do not believe you in saying what you are saying about the ramblings of others who cant differentiate the segments of a story having 4 parts since I forgot to add a delineated beginning to this one and have not yet reached the end and since the middle is probably the part where there should be a point or possibly even the end or conclusion being pointed there really is no point in me answering this question since I clearly do not know what constitutes rambling and therefore should and will choose to abstain from any conclusive opinion with reference to what you said heretofore and hence with particularly with respect to any pointlessness that may or may not occur as a result of someone who has just forgotten where the train of thought was heading. Trains are fun! What was the question?

Analysis is the process of dividing things, this from that. This is rambling, that is not. But the way words encompasses subject, category and topic with the hauling intake of a black hole and the savage consumption of a hungry great white shark forces the academic to paint himself into a corner. With the very broad yardstick of "rambling is NOT what is written down", he has little choice but to label everything of that nature as such. Le Morte d'Arthur? Certainly. The Arabian Nights? Of course. The folktale of The Hook? Why not? A politician's handbill? Guess so... The promotional material for an industrial hammerdrill? Oh. Um...well...grudgingly, yes. Whether it's bad or good, worthy of posterity or the shredder, everything written down has NOT got to be rambling. With all the grandness and pomp and ideals of future generations being interested in this which come with that. And the reality that in today's definition, rambling has become a parody of itself. The intelligent reader is thus left with a single, mortifying conclusion: that this very answer is, in fact, rambling. And that's a damned shame.

We are all the centers of our own universe. Perhaps they think you actually care what they have to say or perhaps they have a God complex and feel you are obligated to hear every word they offer. Either way, they are obviously wrong.
