T'S ONLY WORDS! 1B
LIFE IS A GAME OF CONNECT THE DOTS, IF YOU DON'T CONNECT ALL THE DOTS OR DON'T CONNECT THEM IN THE RIGHT ORDER YOU NEVER GET THE PICTURE
IT'S ONLY WORDS, 1B
Earlier, yesterday in fact, I promised to write more, if you know me, I get sidetracked easily, I blame it on my ADHD, even though 72 years ago there was no such thing as that, but here I am, it is almost 3 am and I am sitting here on my bed, thinking about what to say.
In part one of this article, I talked about how words, in and off themselves are totally meaningless. Sometimes it takes many words, pages, articles to state what a certain word actually means, and still it means only whatever the person hearing it or reading it thinks it means, and then again even that still depends upon that person's "understanding".
As Clinton famously once said, "it depends on what the meaning of ‘is’ is"?
So many many years ago (17), I argued that we have no idea what "murder" is! It turned into a 6-10 page dissertation, with no exact conclusion that we cannot with any certainty define "murder". And still today, that is the case!
Today, a New York jury found a person "not guilty" of any crime in the chokehold death of another, while someone else in New York was charged in the death of another.
In both cases there are (millions of) people that feel that the person causing the "death" of another is either guilty of murder or not guilty of the "murder", doesn't matter which side you are on.
My point here is, only, that if we, as a society, as a nation, cannot agree on the definition of an act as consequential as "murder" than how can we define anything with "certainty" ? So we are, constantly and continously left to bickering amongst ourselves. And the politicians and the pundits use the "words" against us to divide us, while they take our money and our peace.
I WILL WRITE MORE SOON
