I once was interested in what happens after we die, too, but it didn’t last and now I have no sympathy left for word-users that worry about what happens in the afterlife, where the soul goes after they die, and the fear of no life after death. What happens after death? I wouldn’t be surprised if they even worried about how to stop worrying. Why not worry about life before birth instead? Where is the

Safe is not what’s going on
Safety and security are not found in what’s going on within you and without you. Because that can change any minute now. We live in an uncertain world. Safe and secure are found only in knowing how you respond to what’s going on within you and without you. Still, it mightn’t be as simple as it looks at first sight. That’s because you belong to the only animal specie that dreamt of more words so

What makes you a word-user?
Re-discover what out makes you a word-using animal that calls itself human can be quickly done because all it takes is for you to remember the same two events I remembered not long ago. Event #1: Remember you’re born like any mammal’s child, that is without words, wordless. It’s not just about you of course. We’re all born wordless together. Event #2: Remember you learned your first letters, then words, then stories at home and

What would you do in a world of naught?
What would you do in a world of naught where words are absent? I know what I would do. Perhaps you do so, too? I’d do what the wordless do, such as the sun, the energy, the fire, the air, the earth, the water, the planets, the plants, the moon, the seas, the stars, the colors, the paradise birds, the clouds, the pencils and the swifts, to name a few. Maybe I’d do what the

I realised, just in time, that I’m disposable
After I realised, just in time, that I’m disposable whenever I, they, or it decide, I laid myself off from a job and friends that I cared for for 26 years, on December 31st, 1999, and I’ve been a solopreneur ever since. I haven’t looked back, safe in my decision to be coeurageous when I fear, grateful when I miss, and joyful should I regret. In the 24 years since laying myself off, I tried
The invention of the word is the medium without which no media in the world exists, social media included. And it’s not just about media and social media, it’s about everything we have a word for and know. How come? To understand what this means takes not just looking at, but seeing the story of inventions that preceded the invention of words: Invented 13,750 years ago — when the age was stone, the Sahara green,

Modern times depend on what you ask
You can ask your smartphone.Or you can ask what your smartphone doesn’t have a clue of. Smartphone Your smartphone will tell you what’s on the internet, that is what others say about modern times or what AI says about modern times — “modern times typically refers to the period after the late 19th century characterized by significant changes” — which they want you to believe is different but it’s the same thing, others talking about

The SIMPLE change method
Use your eyes Trust what you see. Believe it. If you’re looking for the SIMPLE method to change, then you found it, but allow me to be clear what the simple method means. USE YOUR EYES means use yours for they’re the only ones you own, the 3rd eye included. TRUST WHAT YOU SEE means don’t trust what other word-users see through their eyes unless it is the same. BELIEVE IT means believe you, not
