Just Words
|
|
----------
|
|
|
|
Communicating with others is key to being able to succeed in this plane
|
|
that we currently reside in, there are many ways in which we
|
|
communicate with each other. Talking either through words written or
|
|
spoken, musical or artistic expression, motions or actions, and
|
|
probably some other ways, as well.
|
|
|
|
Have you ever head someone say (usually in reference to either a
|
|
degrading comment, criticism, or on-line conversations) "It's just
|
|
words. Words can't hurt you.". How about the expression: "Actions
|
|
speak louder then words."?
|
|
|
|
It is probably safe to say that we have all heard the above quotes, at
|
|
least a few times if not several hundred times. Either from parents,
|
|
elders, peers, or younger people.
|
|
|
|
People are generally born with five senses. These senses allow us to
|
|
evaluate our surroundings and lead themselves to us being able to
|
|
communicate. Hearing, which allows us to hear those things around us
|
|
either words, music, animals, etc., Taste which is primarily on our
|
|
tongue which is essential for talking. Sight, allowing us to see
|
|
everything about us. Touch lending itself to us being able to feel
|
|
things against our bodies, which ties into motions and actions. Smell
|
|
which enables us to be able to gather tiny fragments of those things
|
|
about us.
|
|
|
|
Notice that talking or speech, the ability to partake in conversation
|
|
using our voices, is not one of these senses. Taste is a part of it
|
|
just because they are linked are through the tongue.
|
|
|
|
Is speaking essential to living? It is essential in the idea that one
|
|
needs to be able to communicate with other living life forms. However,
|
|
there are other ways to do that, such as signing (sign language) or now
|
|
with how advanced the whole 'information highway' has become, one can
|
|
communicate greatly just through typing. (Sense needed: Touch)
|
|
|
|
There are people (and other mammals) that are born without all of the
|
|
senses. Sometimes through age, surgery, or another alternative method
|
|
that sense comes to light, and becomes an ability. Other times the
|
|
mammal learns to deal with not having it and live their life
|
|
accordingly.
|
|
|
|
Sometimes people abuse their senses, which very rarely forces them to
|
|
lose them or at least have them lessen. Such as smokers (or people
|
|
that use a LOT of salt) will lessen their sense of taste and/or of
|
|
smell. Just from the biological process the body goes through. (The
|
|
salt-alcoholics do not alter their sense of smell, just the smokers.)
|
|
Though there are other ways of abusing the senses. This is not about
|
|
the abuses of senses and those effects that arise on the body. If you
|
|
want that, go look them up in a biology book. What this is about
|
|
though is "just words".
|
|
|
|
All of us that are reading this file, are only reading "just words",
|
|
just like we always have whenever we have read anything else. Other
|
|
files, books, magazines, etc. Words may not hold a lot of meaning at
|
|
times, however they should. Because when words do not hold a lot of
|
|
meaning, what is the point of speaking/writing/reading them? There is
|
|
not one. What is the alternative then? Not speaking words, when they
|
|
are empty, holding no meaning. Not writing when there is nothing to
|
|
say.
|
|
|
|
"Just talking is pointless." It is only pointless when there is
|
|
nothing worth anything being said. Otherwise it's a way of learning.
|
|
Learning either a person, place, or thing. A way to escape or enjoy,
|
|
through reading, gaining a new viewpoint, or entertainment. Which
|
|
could range from books and articles to descriptions and movies. The
|
|
only movies that do not have words spoken are silent films, and even
|
|
those have some words that pop up. Words are essential to
|
|
communication in some way.
|
|
|
|
Even when two people are not talking, possibly they are sharing an
|
|
intimate moment, their thought processes are moving in words, because
|
|
words and visions are how we were taught and made to think. People
|
|
give actions, things, people, places, and everything else a word or a
|
|
name to go by. That makes them, them. "A rose by any other name,
|
|
smells just as sweet." The alteration to names though is not what I
|
|
am wanting to convey to you.
|
|
|
|
"I find no reason to talk." That is all fine and dandy, though how are
|
|
you going to get to know anyone or anything more if you do not talk
|
|
with them in some way, shape, or form?
|
|
|
|
Words may just be words, but we as individuals and as a collective
|
|
place importance upon them - or should. The ability to be able to
|
|
use words correctly, accurately and to get our points and views across
|
|
and the ability to comprehend others' are key to being able to make
|
|
a successful life.
|
|
|
|
If it was not for any words, where would you be?
|
|
|
|
Next time you go to say, type, or read something - is it really only:
|
|
"Just Words"?
