My 82nd Post: Words


Different letters when placed in a random order, usually map out nothing but those few letters when spelled correctly, make out a word which has a proper meaning and a sence of use....a word is something used to define an action, an emotion, some thing, or maybe is someone's name....so different words stand out for different things....the tricky part about a word is that at times a single word may have two or more than two meanings....it just matters upon where you place it because words have both a beautiful and a catastrophic meanings...
As a child, we are always taught the use of words....we are told of how and where we can use a certain word and some words hold a sence of respect which we are told to use mostly with our elders....but what our elders forget is that we learn by their conversations not only by their personal lectures....if they lay down rules of guidance without the act upon them, then there is no use to it because with time the rules are forgotten and what remains is how and where those words were used.....
Words may become the most strongest weapon a person has....what he uters is paid more attention and remains in history more than what he does at times....because words can be repeated and moved forward in other conversations but noone would be able to forward someone's act, that is if no video recording is available....the proper use of words is important because same words can ignite a fight and can bring peace between two parties....it just depends upon how someone uses them and the way they stress upon them....if in some party someone during a speech says 'I' in a calm tone, then noone would really grasp it but on the other hand if that same person puts a little stress upon 'I', people would have different conclusions about him....they might see him as a selfish person or someone who is trying to state or defend himself in that dilemma....
The only confusion whirling around my head is that at times when you define someone or something, no matter how true you might be, others would point out that you were the wrong one specially by being harsh in your choice of words....it is just like when you might say that someone has a rude behaviour, people might take it strongly and on the other hand you define someone's behaviour as a harsh one, people may twist it in some other way....if the words are both exactly the same then why not to accept the fact that the sayer is trying to be straight in his wordings and is just clearly pointing it out....but no, people want diplomatic answers which might not hurt someone's feelings....though I might be wrong here but I think that giving one straight answer is better than playing with words....I believe that when we play with words, which some times I do as well, we really don't want the listener to exactly get a hold of the truth we are speaking about....we still intend to keep their mind confused and manage our way out of the situation....ain't that just something wrong we were taught not to do? but again what we were taught as a kid, is only till when we were kids not when we get mature enough because then people expect us to move along the society and agree upon their facts no matter how wrong we feel they might be, but still move in some way that it might not offend them....
So this all is really confusing because we can't bluntly talk and speak the truth as it might be understood and would mark someone wrong....so why to speak of the truth in the first place if we still intend to appreciate the wrong in one way or an other and accept it as the society's flaw....the thing is that accepting it would encourage in its growth but why to care...
Well, I really don't have the answer here...if someone really can ease down my confusion clearly debating against my points, then please help me and all those who might think in this way....
Tc, comment and do give it a thought if you really want a positive change in the society.....
