Verbal Exchange Rate
Copyright © 2021 MC
Words have a power of their own. Some words are misused as weapons, as in insults against Foreign Powers (Russia, Israel, North Korea, or China). Other words are directed to society, as in Sexual words for reproductive activity; ethnic words against a race or culture, to provoke a violent or emotional response; and Magical Words to remedy these problems. Before people learned to speak, they were more peaceful than now, using grunts or physical force to resolve their issues. Intellect created words, and intellect shall guide their fair use. Words are like games, a strategy is devised for navigating a course into people’s lives using a verbal exchange rate of words. If words do not form correctly, shame is the effect. Say the wrong word, and your career is attacked by the people; your film is boycotted or “Canceled” by the Masses; your television show has lesser ratings; or your children stories are purged from libraries. Words have a history. Uttered correctly, a word can kill. Or is it the vibrations from the word itself that does this? Words are a technology to reach other distant lands, to teach from ancient times, to live forever, or to conquer. Words are wealth. Words can create fortunes or decay into nothingness. Books are treasuries of words. Why burn treasuries? Some people want to control other’s access to such wealth by destroying words contained in a volume. Villains who burnt books in the past now destroy books today by their discontinuation, or the status of their authors denigrated by History. Authors have a right to retain their words. It is their intellect that lives forever, even if their words are stolen or substituted by others with no credit to their authorship. Statues of Pharaohs are damaged but their words live forever in the mouth of the speaker… (An Egyptian Proverb).
