more words

Not only is "word" exposure severe, but in a large part, the “word” is increasingly "future" tense. Think about it. Just pay attention throughout your day (excluding work) and see how often "words" relate to the future. And since everyone knows you cannot predict the future, there is no accountability for these "words" (ah, now we begin to see the integrity disintegration).

Also, "words" are increasingly subjective. Again, removing accountability. For example, how can 50% of the government say raising taxes is bad for business and the other half says it is good for business? i am mystified that in 2011, given all that the world offers technologically, this can be debated.

Another observation. Consumer software introduced the concept of "a bug" as okay. We will just send you another update. Or as is the case today, just "download" the latest version. Again, this reduces accountability. Somehow, just by agreeing to the software license, i am now accountable to take action to make it right. Wow!

Sloppiness. Just like emails and texting, we have become "fire and forget" communicators. Oh, I will just send another email or texting.

Enough whining. Here are some past words that are getting harder to come by these days:

“In the white room with black curtains near the station.
Blackroof country, no gold pavements, tired starlings.
Silver horses ran down moonbeams in your dark eyes.
Dawnlight smiles on you leaving, my contentment.”

to many words

Just imagine for a minute that the quantity of words you "see" and "hear" each and everyday as a sound with a volume level! Then, think back 5 years, 10 years, 20 years ago and imagine that sound again.

I believe we are "over exposed" today to "to many words". And, as with most "things", they have become devalued, and woefully lack integrity.

this says it all

I'm pondering at the moment.......
