And with the revelation that words are meaningless one ascends above ambiguity and alights the platform of startling revelation. This narrow precipice is dangerous and it will be easy to allow one's self to return to the misty valley of comfort and subtle confusion.
I can say anything I want to. People will believe words over apparent emotion in any and every case offered them. If emotion was food we would all be anorexic, however, if words were the sustenance upon which we feast - and it seems as if this is so - than we are all naive gluttons who cater to a syntax much more palatable than the honest and blunt truth, than the raw emotions that truly rule our mind and actions.
I can be hateful and intentionally cruel but if I avoid snide comments and am a flattering fool, prostrating myself upon the alter of conventional niceties, then all is well with the world and everyone is loved.
That is foolish. I am foolish. People are foolish.
Words mean nothing. I can say anything. There is no truth where there is no emotion. The apathetic lack true existence, they are not there, look through their words because they mean nothing.
Lying runs rampart in a society that is too afraid of emotion. Social graces are valued more than moral graces. Truth is archaic. Look at our dictionary, it provides a clinical approach to remove all emotional connontations assosciated with words. It is only a matter of time before people come to fear the truth so much that society will provide a manual designed to remove all hints of truth and emotion from human interaction. All speech will be formulated to provide comfort and insipid flattery.
Love and hate and joy and fear shall become obsolete.
Humanity will be lost.
Progress will stop because there shall be no one brave enough to be passionate about change.
Don't tell me what you think. Show me what you think. Show me with your hands. Build me something concrete, something that cannot be erased with a few simple words. Bravo! if you offer offense because now I have material upon which I can reflect and form feelings for! Whether you offend or entertain, critique or provide love you should be well assured that you shall inspire. To create is to evoke emotion. Don't give me your pretty, empty words. I've had enough of your abstract philosophy! If you have any true thoughts in your head, if you truly wish to show me that you are human, then create!
Show me!
I need proof! Proof that you possess enough feeling and heart and soul to provide for our world a better future. Proof that you actually care for that which you wish to create. That there is passion within your physical being. That you are not a robot programmed to repeat pretty words at the appropriate time.
I need humanity. Real, brutal, messy humanity.
We need not agree.
We need not say anything.
We just need to be.
If you are unable to be, then pray your sanity stays intact as you step off of this narrow ledge and return to that apathetic mist.
