Newsletter #36 claims you can’t help doing what you do — even if it’s nothing.
Now wordexplosion #37 takes a further look at…
You DO ASK
You DO ask questions.
Like the children of the wordless animals, the word-users’ are born wordless.
But like all of the world’s children, we are not born stupid.
That means what separates us from the wordless is not intelligence.
The only difference between the wordless and us are words.
We have them and they don’t.
How come?
It’s because you morphed from the world Before Words — from whence you came — to the world After Words — which is your destiny till you die and join the wordless again.
It’s not just about you of course.
We’re all on the same boat together.
In the wordful world
On the same boat together, we begin to ask “Why?” soon after we speak our first.
“Why me?” “Why am I here?” “Why is the banana bent?” “Why must I go to bed?” “Why do people die?” “Why do birds fly?”
The young asking their parent(s) has them wish that the incessant whys will end sooner or later, the sooner the better.
The young asking their smartphone has them wonder sooner or later how dumb their smartphone can be, the sooner the better.
In the wordless world
The energy, fire, air, earth, water, plants, valleys, mountains, moss, grass, and wordless animals, to name just a few that never spent a day at school where words are taught, don’t ask questions.
They don’t have the words to explain themselves.
The best we can do is assume they know something that’s not taught at school, something we ignore.
WORD-USE
You don’t need to know your smartphone to use it, but wordexplosion isn’t about smartphones, it’s about you.
Ask is just one of the many things you DO.
To learn what else you DO, you must know the difference…
…between what you ARE, DO, and HAVE .
ELECTRIC QUOTE
“It is impossible to end a relationship. It is only possible to change it. All relationships are never-ending. It is not a question of whether we are going to have the relationship, but of what kind of relationship we are going to have.” – Debbie Ford
Note from the editor: Your relationship with words is no exception.
PS
Are you looking for the simple method to change?
Then simply change how you look at and see words.
“Plus simple tu meurs” (any simpler you die) I say when I speak French words.
