WORD-MASTERS
…are not often talked about.
What are they?
As you’d expect, word-masters are the opposite of word-users.
Word-users merely use words and word-masters master words.
Word-masters know in the beginning is the word and that it can be denied only by confirming it, that is by using it. Word-masters know the power of words, that is what words do to themselves and others.
That, my friend, is the difference between the two.
THE ORIGINAL WORD-MASTERS
The original word-masters date back to when words were new 13,750 years ago when the age was stone, the Sahara green, Northern Europe under 1-mile-thick ice, and rainmakers and religion got invented.
RECENT WORD-MASTERS
Recent word-masters include Shakespeare, Johann Wolfgang Goethe, the Brothers Grimm, Victor Hugo, Ludwig Wittgenstein, Lewis Carroll, Beatrice Potter, George Orwell, Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, Walt Disney, Ian Fleming, Patrick Rothfuss, J.K. Rowling, Donald Trump, famous marketeers, and all other authors of stories that never happened, to name a few.
STORIES THAT NEVER HAPPENED
The difference between stories that never happened and stories that genuinely did happen, the word-masters know the difference between the two and the word-users ignore it. Because to word-users it doesn’t matter whether a story genuinely happened or not, the only thing that matters to them it’s true.
You can tell a story never genuinely happened because it typically features wordless animals and fictional characters that talk, such as dogs, cats, ducks, capricorns, Peanuts, James Bond, Superwoman, Harry Potter, gods, mountains, plants, the Mad Hatter, or tea pots, to name a few. What’s wrong with that? Clearly, wordless animals and fictional characters don’t talk for they never spent a day at school where words are taught.
The ones talking for the wordless animals and fictional characters are the storytellers, actors, or actors lending their voices to the wordless animals and fictional characters. That’s because unlike the fictional characters and wordless animals, the actors and storytellers did go to schools where words are taught.
TAKEAWAY
Whether you are a word-master or word-user doesn’t matter. What matters is we’re all in words together.
This makes it the perfect time to wish both the masters and users the best for their shared future together.
If not now, then when?
… not easy to follow! and at the end “whether you are a word-master or word-user doesn’t matter. What matters is we’re all in words together.”… so why explaining the difference?? I’m in the dark…
Thanks Marie-Claire for sharing your point of view. By “I’m in the dark” do you mean you were in the light before? If so, I’m sorry for having written this post and hope sincerely you’ll find back to the light again. Other than that, I explain the difference because some word-users ignore there is a choice between having words work for others and having words work for you, a decision to make if you so choose. But maybe you’re not one of the “some word-users”, in which case hats off to you.
