The least optimistic word-user you’ll meet

By In Words, You

I am, believe it or not, one of the least optimistic word-user you’ll meet.

Like everybody else, I see what’s going on and I want to scream. But what I see most of all is the word-users in a war against nature that if we win, we lose.

Screaming will help no more since we’ll be extinct. The Earth will be owned by the wordless again, as has been the case for the first 99.9997% of the time since the invention of the planet we’re all passengers on, the wordless and the wordful alike.

If we win our war against nature, words will disappear and together with the words also you and me and the schools we built for the preaching and teaching of words.

Yet here I am

Yet here I am, in part inspired by Edith Wharton’s “there are two ways of spreading light. Be the candle or the mirror that reflects it.”

Because I have word-users that depend on me, I therefore keep my word, don’t give up, and have a vision to make come true — to get the story of words told at school.

There’s no need to be a candle or light, the candlemakers and sun are taking care of that. So I stand instead on the shoulders of word-users that went before me, doing my best to mirror Ludwig Wittgenstein’s light:

“Call words a dream, it does not change anything.”

If all it took to replace the old models with a new was for me to express myself, I’d go and ring a bell in a public square.
But getting the story of words told at school isn’t as simple as that.

Words were invented 13,750 years ago

…when the age was stone, the Sahara green, and Northern Europe under 1-mile-thick ice.

Back then, the invention of words revolutionised evolution. Radically. More than any other event before or since.

I’m not saying the words can do it again.

All I’m saying is give words a chance.

One more time, please.

I look forward to getting to know you over a virtual cup of coffee during which together we’ll find out how I can help you with bespoke solutions for a better life.

Magic moments

By In Words, You

What word-users do with their moments and how they use their eyes is what separates the many from the few.

The few

For the few that are masters of their moments and use their eyes to see words for what they are, the moments are magic.
They know in the end everything will be alright and if it ain’t alright it ain’t the end.

The many

For the many, their moments and words are on a roller-coaster between clear and murky that drives them up the wall.
They ignore what it takes to accept the things they cannot change, to change the things they can, and the difference between the two.
They also forget they end up back where they began, in the wordless state.

All together now

All word-users either control their moments and words, or they are controlled by them.
There is no in-between.

Like the children of all animals, the children of word-users are born wordless too.
Adult word-users usually forget they were born wordless, too.
And their children haven’t yet learned everything they will know later will later be words.

What is on reception?

All word-users are in business but only a few are on reception.
Why do we use eyes to look but not to see, and ears to hear but not to listen?
Why have we — well, some of us — now programmed AI to do the same?

The answer, my friend, is blowin’…but you know that stuff.

Things said when words are gone

By In Words, You

Words were invented 13,750 years ago. At the time, the age was stone, the Sahara green, and Northern Europe under 1-mile-thick ice.

Split in two, part 1

Word-users vs wordless

The invention of the word split the world in two.

On the one side the ones that adopted the word and became our ancestors, the word-users.

On the other side the ones that didn’t.

The ones that don’t use words are the energy, sun, planets, stars, moons, fire, air, earth, water, cells, 9 million wordless animal species, eyes, brains, colors, scents, feelings, and the organs of anything alive on Earth today.
These never spent a day at school.
They communicate between each other wordlessly.
They’ve done so in large part for the past 13.8 billion years,

The ones that did become word-users are our ancestors, the only specie of animal among the total of 9 million other animal species (too many to count, getting fewer by the day).
Because word-users are like all children born wordless, we are the only animal that builds schools for the teaching of letters and words.

Split in two, part 2

Before Words vs After Words

The time Before Words (BW) lasted 4,649,986,250 years.
That is 99.9997% of the time since the beginning of Earth.
During that time no words were said on Earth.
All communication on was wordless.

The time After Words (AW) lasted 13,750 years.
That is 0.0003% of the time since the beginning of Earth.
In these 13,750 years many words are said by the only animal saying them.

In both the Before Words and After Words, the energy, sun, planets, stars, moons, fire, air, earth, water, cells, 9 million wordless animal species, eyes, brains, colors, scents, feelings, and organs of anything alive on Earth today communicate wordlessly.

Takeaway

The invention of words 13,750 years ago revolutionised evolution.

I’m not saying words can do it again.

All I’m saying is give words a chance.

Pay attention to words!

Finding happiness

By In Words, You

Wait.

Before rushing headlong into the trap set by word-users out to control you, I think the better strategy is a timeout.

Take a break to ask yourself what happiness is instead:

  • Is happiness a 352-page book?
  • Is happiness a word?
  • Is happiness yours to decide?

That’s right.

Happiness is number 2, a word, and number 3, yours to decide.

Happiness is no exception to the fact every word — that is everything you know and believe — is yours to decide

Happiness is your decision

How you decide is all up to you. No-one else and no other word can decide for you. You can go for Decision A or Decision B.

Decision A)

You decide “I am HAPPY to be alive.” If so, it’s alright if you have to get used to it. Take your time for Decision A comes with more benefits than you’ll ever know:

The decision is a no-brainer, easy to make without thinking twice. Your happiness will last forever and a day. You are in control, the captain on your ship, and the internet, smartphones, and AI are not. You will never have to wonder if you’re happy again. You will never have to make the same decision again. Many other decisions are made at the same time. Happiness attracts more happy circumstances. You’ll never have to look up happiness on the internet, your smartphone, or AI again.

Decision B)

You decide “I am NOT HAPPY to be alive” — a privilege many other word-users no longer enjoy. If so, there’s nothing being alive can do for you. Only gratitude can.

The downside of Decision B): Your happiness depends on which way the wind does blow. You must decide “Am I happy?” over and over again, sometimes several times a day. This will wear you out in the long run and guarantees the defeat of the purpose.

If being alive doesn’t make you happy, I suggest you mingle with word-users that find something better than death anywhere.

It’s important to know

It’s important to know what you’re looking for — the purpose of words. Therefore it’s important you define your words, happiness included, and not the internet, your smartphone, or AI.
Everybody knows belief is a question of character, experience, and personal preferences — to each their own.
It’s alright to believe happiness is a 352-page book. If so, good luck finding it. Or you may believe it’s better to believe the internet, your smartphone, or AI, than to believe you. If so, what controls you? What decides when you’re happy and when you’re not?

Takeaway

Decide to be happy for no reason!

Decide now, knowing if you’re happy with a reason, you’re in trouble because that reason can be taken away from you.

  • “Praise and blame, gain and loss, pleasure and sorrow come and go like the wind. To be happy rest like a giant tree in the midst of them all.” – Buddha
