If you want to make change happen, you might fear being honest and outspoken about it.
Maybe the change you have in mind consists of replacing an old model with a new. But if you announce it from the top of your lungs, from atop the social media rooftops, for everybody to hear it loud and clear, you’re afraid that someone out there in this insane world will come after you like a rabid dog or demented bear.
It shan’t happen, on that I give my word. That’s because someone is a word — like everything else you have a word for — and words don’t come after you (nor after anyone else).
Though some word-users — including philosophers and scientists — resist accepting that “Words=Words”. Yet that everything you know is a word isn’t philosophy, it’s science. Long story short, there are no words coming after you.
But if you feel this is a dangerous world, that doesn’t mean it is an illusion. On the contrary, your feelings are authentic, for no other word or word-user can feel it for you. That’s as authentic as authentic gets.
Far too many wordless and word-users only know too well what living in a dangerous world means. The wordless are too many to mention. Among the word-users, William Tyndale, Mahatma Gandhi, Steve Biko, Martin Luther King Jr, 800,000 dead Rwandans in 100 days, 853 executed Iranians in 365 days, Jamal Khashoggi, and Salman Rushdie, to name a few. For a more complete list, check out Amnesty International, the organisation that has done more for human rights than any other organisation I know of.
How about you?
“Considering how dangerous everything is, nothing is really very frightening.” – Gertrude Stein
Just feel the fear, then do it anyway.
Make the change happen, and only then see what happens.
All it takes is your vision and the courage to follow through.
The world needs you. To say more than ever would be missing the point because it’s not a question of time or the year we’re in, which is a lie anyway. On the contrary, it’s a question of eternity which belongs to those who act in the present — that is you.
