Today: About nothing but growth.

By In Words, You

Back in ‘62, Dylan’s telephone rang. It would not stop. President Kennedy calling him up.
He said, “My friend Bob, what do we need to make the country grow?”
Bob said, “My friend John, Brigitte Bardot, Anita Ekberg, Sophia Loren, country’ll grow”.

Though I listen to “I Shall Be Free” while I’m writing this post, it isn’t the growth I have in mind 62 years later.

The times they have a-changed, but the word-user’s growth still depends on the truths we can stomach without the need for an ambulance.

Here are 2 outstanding truths that won’t change according to our ability to stomach them:

  1. Everything is a word.
  2. We’re animals with words.

EVERYTHING IS A WORD

Everything you have a word for is a word. Everything you know is a word.
These two statements can be denied only by confirming them, that is by using a word.
As with gravity, there’s nothing you can do about it. Just as you can ignore the laws of gravity, so you can ignore the laws of words, but neither words nor gravity will be impressed.

Words sit on our noses, as it were, as glasses, and everything we look at, we see through them. It doesn’t even occur to take them off.
Yet, we still don’t accept “Word=Word”.
This despite the fact that Ludwig Wittgenstein said “All I know is what I have words for, call it a dream, it does not change anything” 104 years ago, and Samuel Becket said “Words are all we have” 55 years ago.

Yet, as if nothing happened, smartphones all over the world still keep on proclaiming “a word is a unit of language with a specific meaning that is typically made up of one or more morphemes. It is used to communicate and can exist in various forms such as spoken or written.”

ANIMALS WITH WORDS

Though we breathe, eat, drink, eliminate, procreate, sense, and behave like animals, we still can’t stomach that we are (animals) without the need for an ambulance.

The only difference between us and the other 8.7 to 16 million is that we are the only specie with words. That’s what Becket is saying with “Words are all we have”.

TAKEAWAY

Even if you don’t see the reasons, that doesn’t mean they’re not there*. The main reason, the reason on the top of our totem pole:

‎”Strange times are these in which we live when old and young are taught falsehoods in school.”
Plato said that 2,500 years ago.

Did Plato say that to prove the times they have a-changed, but that the schools have not? It’s too late to ask Plato now.
What do you think?

DISCLAIMER

The only thing in this post are words. Approximately 1,500 of them. In other words, there are no truths here to be found. What you make of words here or elsewhere is outside of my control, all up to you. Results are never typical and hard to predict. You must obtain professional advice before taking any action based on words.

If you believe there are ONLY 3 STORIES of how it all began, you’ve been SHAMMED.

By In Words, You

If you believe there are ONLY 3 STORIES of how it all began…

  • Story 1: In the beginning is creation by fictional characters.
  • Story 2: In the beginning is a big bang.
  • Story 3: In the beginning is evolution.

…you’ve been shammed, also known as taken for a fool.

By those in the know since words were new — 13,750 years ago, when the age was stone, the Sahara green, and Northern Europe under 1-mile-thick ice — you’ve been taken for a fool that refuses to believe that it doesn’t matter whether a story genuinely happened or not, that the only thing that matters it’s believed.

Those in the know since words were new, know that in the beginning is the word.

The word is in the beginning not only in terms of the 3 stories above, but also in the story of you, me, and the approximately 9 billion other word-users in the world.

They each know from personal experience that we didn’t come into this world with words, that we had to learn them first. And if the story of words were told at school, we’d each also know that there’s a Before Words and After Words in the story of Earth.

As it is, many word-users don’t see a word even when looking at it in broad daylight or under a microscope.
So here’s a way to see each and every word even with your eyes closed:

  • When you have a word for it, it’s a word.
  • When you know it, it’s word.
  • Call it a dream, it doesn’t change anything.
  • What a word is, a sentence cannot say.
  • Describing words by using words is like using a pencil to draw a picture of itself, on itself.

Stop being shammed

None of the 3 stories told at schools all over the world genuinely happened.
Whether you believe them or not is all up to you.
No other word or word-user can make the decision for you.

But when you’re sick and tired of being shammed and taken for a fool, believe the only story that did genuinely happens: In the beginning is the word.

Without the word in the beginning, creation by fictional characters, bangs of any size, and evolution don’t exist, meaning we wouldn’t be talking about those 3 stories as we speak.
