The Life of Words

It is interesting how we can sit and spend countless time looking at words that mean nothing. We spend time all over the internet scouring for answers that have no affect on our lives.

Yet words, true words, emotional, pivotal, powerful words are around us waiting to be unlocked, waiting to give way to broadening our own horizons more than 180 characters can give us and the "kbyes" of the world share.

We have the opportunity, thanks to the internet, to share meanings and emotions, thoughts and theories, a connectedness and longing. We have the opportunity to use those words to better our world.

For the life of words were meant to exist to help us all learn the lessons we are meant to learn. Whether they are their to share our sorrows, open up about our concepts of the future, or marvel about the miracles of the cosmos. Those words are around to answer the questions we need answered, sometimes without us even knowing it. 

Yet so many of us, myself included sometimes, in fact more times than I would like to admit, sit idol and foolishly look after words that share no meaning, reading articles that tell us nothing, looking at news that solves nothing, and sharing in foolish small talk that gives no more consideration to the world around us than garbage mounds better our environment. 

Words are meant to be shared to get to know one another. Not just the "how are you's" and the "we should get together soon's" but the act of melding minds and connecting souls, the ability to search deeper into the subconscious, farther into the realm of possibility and give hope for the future that without those words, we would never get to. 

Chatter keeps you on even ground. It keeps you right where all those zombies you see in your day to day life are. There is no where to go but to look around and wave hello. But when you dive deeper, look harder, question more, you have the chance to teach yourself how to soar. God gave us words and it's our job to put wings on them.

It is our job to watch as they become something bigger than ourselves, mold us together and find a way to impact each of us in the best possible way. Yet often times, they are used as slander and nothingness... making them so much less than what they could be. Taking the wings and ripping a feather off at a time. Instead of bringing us together and making us stronger, we are using those words as a weapon and making the life of those words meaningless.
