Welcome to word explosion #13.
As usual, we begin with YOU for that’s what the word explosions, also known as the constant information avalanches, are about.
With what you IS and ARE, you DO respond to them the best you can
YOU
The preceding word explosions took a closer look at what you IS, ARE, and what you DO. #13 is taking a closer look at…

You HAVE
You have, also known as you possess, 3 types of things.
- Gifts you’re meant to open.
- Things that cannot be bought.
- Things money can buy.
GIFTS YOUR MEANT TO OPEN
Your abilities. The internet and social media want you to believe you posses a total of 600 abilities. Ignore 599 of them. The only ability that matters is your ability to respond, also known as response-ability. As you improve your ability to respond, all other abilities improve at the same time. Forget about the other 599 is what word explosion recommends.
THINGS THAT CANNOT BE BOUGHT
Freedom, vision, personal growth, the coeurage it takes to follow through, physical fitness. gratitude, respect for you and others, friends, curiosity, intelligence, serenity, wisdom.
THINGS MONEY CAN BUY
Like the majority of animals, word-users are a status seeking animal. Driven by the approval of others, status is a fundamental aspect of word-user interaction, a form of social currency. Status money can buy include designer clothes, shoes, sneakers, fancy homes, flashy cars, Hermès bags, Rolex watches, exclusive memberships, likes, and testimonials.
WORDS
Words aren’t a gift you’re meant to open. As you know from personal experience, you were born without words, wordless.
WORD USE
All animals are born wordless, the meanwhile 9 billion word-users included. Therefore, using words is something we have to learn. In this we are unique, the only animal on Earth to do so.
The other 9 million species of animals, far too many to count, stubbornly refuse to use words to this day. Why? Nobody knows and they’re not telling for self-evident reasons.
What do the wordless know the wordful ignore? Mystery.
