Language

This post will be fairly spontaneous on my side. I came into this with only one topic, which is language, however, I have no other topics, and I don’t really think it’s a great idea to write one paragraph and conclude. For that reason I will think of something on the fly, the biggest reason being I think it’d be fun in all honesty. However, I will start with language, more specifically my personal spiel, and infatuation with language.

We’ll start there. Language, there’s quite a few of them over the earth, and many of them have their own written and oral versions. This language, the one I’m using now, is known as English. These letters, as you read them, they make certain noises when you read them, they give you certain meanings, or feelings when you can assimilate them. Now let’s presume you only speak English, so you understand these letters. Let’s look at, say, Japanese. If you look at the symbols (kanji) in the Japanese language, what do you see other than lines? Nothing, that’s it, lines. I thought of this, and then had a realization. Japanese people, assuming they can only speak Japanese, look at our 26 letters and thing the exact same thing. I don’t know why, but that realization infatuated me. Still does to be honest. I mean our language is incomprehensible to people with language that we find incomprehensible. The way we have evolved, the way we have separated, the way we have come to be as a species. Amazing, isn’t it?

This is where we start to improvise, and luckily I have a simple concept I talked about on my Instagram, that I would like to articulate. It deals with the expression, “don’t bite the hand that feeds you.” When I first thought about this, I couldn’t find what is wrong with this expression at first, I even put it off until one day, a question came to mind. Why are you being fed? That’s what’s wrong with that expression, we are spoon fed these expressions, and this expression is true for 99% of people, they will be fed, and it’s important not to bite that hand. However for that one percent, the people that become the hands. Which I believe all of you have the potential to do. Learn now, that you have to stop being fed, don’t, bite the hand, leave it, and become self-sufficient. I believe in you.

This is where I get confused, I wonder what to speak about, because the only ideas I have now, are ideas I want to make full-fledged posts about. For this last paragraph then, I’ll discuss love. Love, not in the intimate sense, but the ubiquitous sense. The love that you have for your friends, and family, not your spouse. You see, I believe you should love everyone, tell people you love them, and make sure, your friends, every time you stop talking to them, and you split ways. You make sure you tell them you love them, because first, it makes them happy, and spreads positive energy. Second, this is the morbid one, but it’s true, it may be the last time you see them. I don’t wanna talk about that one too much, we already hear enough about it. However spreading love is so great. It feels good, you feel so light, it’s so positive. Like Ram Das says, love everything.

Well, I suppose that’ll be it for today, I had fun making stuff up, and just writing without any plan, next week however, hopefully I’ll have something for thought out. Thank you for reading this, I hope this post conveyed my infatuation with language, the fallacy of “don’t bite the hand that feeds you.” and spreading love, it’s positive, do it. Have a wonderful week, I’ll see you the next, you are not alone, peace.
