Vulnerable To Words

[Guest guest]

Certainly, here and elsewhere we use words

as a medium, much as we use money as a

medium of exchange; but as with money, there

is more to life, than the common currency.

 

As I type this, I am not imprinting it in

my own blood, this text is not an extended

sensitive sense-organ of mine; I understand

that among those who read this, some will

take offense, others will not care, and still

others will care, and consider. In any of those

cases, I am not 'at stake'; I am not staking

anything, by offering this or any other such

writing. In other words; I understand that

while we may use words, that words are

ephemera, whose uses are varied, and which

can be formualated to produce 'effects' in

the reader, such as mild mirth, or sadness.

 

Take heed, reader; you are in charge, of your

own boundaries. If the words of others transgress,

it is not the fault of the words, but of the

one whose boundaries are so easily breached

by ephemera.

Primates huddle together and groom each-

other; the 'nit' is a tiny insect, an

irritant to those infected.

 

Humans have much more leisure or 'down'

time than they generally recognize. During

those times, they groom each-other, digging

about in each-other for perceived blood/energy

sucking parasitic 'beliefs'.

 

For example; it is common to hear that 'ego'

and/or 'false self' are such destructive

parasites; and that we should be rid of those.

 

Others, rarely, offer that the belief in 'ego'

is itself a worse parasite, than the purported

'ego' is. Thus we can see how people are concerned

about each-other and offer to/demand to dig about

in each-other for 'altruistic' purposes.

 

I say, that each should strive to hold words

and language apart from their vital core; and

to learn to choose if and when, to allow the

words of others to penetrate. If any call for

universal vulnerability, let those advocates

first open themselves to the opposing viewpoint.
