When you think about words--------

When you think about words and the use of words or the definition of words which always lead to more words, or how words can be useful in helping someone come to an epiphany, or find solace and comfort, or find ammunition to strike in a hurtful manner, or in a way that will create a world in which humans can thrive one can wonder why God gave us language.

Sometimes when I think about words I am immediately plunged into an ocean of letters. All these letter represent a word. Sometimes when I read at all I get so mixed up with the criticisms of why the other guy is not doing the right thing. It doesn't matter what the subject might be, there is always another perspective in which the conclusions drawn are wrong or maybe half right. Of course needless to say this can also apply to speech.

Don't people get tired of talking about what someone else did and how important the rest of us find in it great importance? Really? You honestly think what a celebrity or a politician or for that matter my neighbor says in the end really is newsworthy?
I'm thinking that somewhere, someone does think it's worthy of talking about.

Look at this latest "craze" twitter.

In the meantime when we're all trying to look more "normal" than the next guy, we read about abuse, violence, fetishes, addictions, predators of all stripes, war, hate, ethnic hatred, you call it out........Okay we can include the word love in all its' definitions.

Words are my only way of getting on the outside what is on the inside of my brain. The words get so jumbled up and the messages of right wrong get all mixed up......inside my head. In the end Make a Difference in the world. Some people already know how to make a difference. It feels so insignifant when it comes to the world! It's a tiny piece and needs to be continually nurtured otherwise we keep forgetting. Look at all the history of humankind. Has life gotten better or does it just seem like it has....as humans we've managed to move forward with great inventions and discoveries. And I hope the human race gets more enlightened.

Is this begging the question of "Who's" enlightenment? What words do you suppose will be the winning ones?

Do you think each generations suffers amnesia?
