Words

Words, in any given language can have many meanings and serve many purposes. Evidently communication serves as the main purpose of words.
Words, verbally can always be retracted or denied, however when you put your words on paper, in writing, you can never get them back. Those words can never be retrieved and can be linked to your name forever. This perhaps was the reason for my reluctance in starting a blog.
Although communication is the reasoning behind words, how many of us are actually successful in communicating with others? How many people on a daily basis do we truly understand?
In my opinion, gestures can be just as powerful as words. Symbols of love, affection and understanding can serve just as well as words, if not even better.
Is language a help or a hindrance?
Without language we would be lost, but that does not mean with it we're not lost either. The human race is in fact lost, we have lost and lowered our standards, lost our drive and most importantly lost the sense of what is right and what is wrong.
I'm afraid words aren't going to fix what we have lost in the world. Gestures however, are a different story.
