why debate on the existence of god. it's relative to asking our adorable sea mammals the dolphins to take heed and believe in the theory of relativity. or physics if that matters. i remembered once saying that if history showed the name of one god, similar depictions of the god and the same entirely plausible, magnificent stories of that very god throughout the entire world, then i'd believe because that would show the presence of a higher being that has gained recognition in all our ancestors' eyes. but till then...
anyway. who amongst you out there believes that dictionaries are made by God?! RAISE YOUR HANDS.
i am sorry to disappoint you but the TRUTH is...they are made by humans ( oh shocking isn't it? ) ; most of the words we use these days are figured and thought up by people of the past or if they are still alive, present ( minus out those new found words ). so why do we let our choices of words be dictated by people of the past? ( or the present if they are still alive ) ; eg, colloquial, rude or slang words weren't colloquial, rude or slang words a long time ago. they were the same as dad, mum, chicken, house, sun, moon or even the galaxy. some idiot or shall i say a group of asinine fools decided to categorize them in that manner. sure sure you will retort who am i to undermine the significance of these thick thick books [ or the group of geniuses behind them ] that explain thousands and thousands of words but you are getting me all wrong. i am not going to waste my time nor your time arguing frivolously about whether hmm for eg, fuck is a bad word or not; it's futile it's an irreversible effect on our lives. but i am trying to point out this mistake.
here's a simple analogy. we segregate a group of human babies since childbirth and we bring them up nurturing them, ironically, with dictionaries but NOT SO ironically, dictionaries that we have modified. and in these audited books, we mark words like frogs or hello as rude, ergo putting them at the same level of the word bastard or fuck & then we reverse it, removing rude from those supposedly 'bad words'. wanna bet on the consequences? those children will grow up thinking, no wait, KNOWING that frogs and hello are bad bad words they should NEVER use when conversing with other people.
so tell me, is that right? all i am saying is who were they to start tagging words according to what they thought was right. but too bad dictionaries, the words and impact of the words have become ingrained in our lives. sigh.
let me move on to a less depressing pov i seem to have. and that is if you have not guessed, about fortune tellers. well, i must say that they must be really really exceptionally good with words. i don't wanna dwell too much into it or this post is going to hit the roof.
so let me just give you a sample sentence.
'why do you do it, things that you don't wanna do?'
does it apply to you? well because if it doesn't, either you are a saint which is impossibly impossible [ wait does the first impossible accentuate my second impossible or reverses it? gahh who cares, you get the gist ]
or you are a liar. get what i mean? i think these people who can magically see into our futures are just adept at reading our emotions, gestures and throwing questions ( given example ) like that at us.
but that doesn't matter, the point is what do you think?
