Words

We give words meaning. Without man, they are nothing but an inarticulate collaboration of sounds and noises. We attach a meaning to those sounds and suddenly they become more. They impact people and inspire them to go whatever path they may choose. Those paths lead into directions unforeseen by the taker. That’s part of taking a chance; to rely on ones self and let yourself guide you to the right path. When do we fallow our hearts and when do we think? One should not think too much, it isn’t healthy. To think, we must take those notions from prior ideas, and those can only come from instinctual knowledge. Every great idea that every great mind formulated came from the same place. While they gained knowledge from books, or people, or wherever it might have come from, its origin came from the drive and heart. You must be inspired to open your mind and think. And those thoughts are then formulated into words; little bits of sound that has no other meaning besides the fact that they are simply just that; sounds; sounds and squiggly lines. It’s up to us to determine the meaning of a word, and to use them to inspire more words to come forth from the hearts of the readers.
