a new connection disconnected with words
Words just muddle our emotions. In fact, words have probably been the downfall of (wo)mankind (gotta be politically correct these days). I heard once, that before words, before we started communication with a verbal language, there was no war, there was no poverty, there were lush lands, peace, freedom, love, everything we as a society have always strived for. But, on the other hand, without documenting those days with words, how can we be certain of this utopia? Well, the fact that you communicate better without words, with body language, with eye communication, with a hyper consciousness, helps confirm the belief that words are everything we've never wanted to be. What's in a name? What's in a word? Nothing. No truth, no god, nothing. Language is all subjective, arbitrary, and probably takes us further and further away from happiness. Like the word beautiful; how cliche' is that? No one can use that word without thinking, it's been said before, in film, in music, in art, in life. But a romantic kiss, a smile, a touch of the skin, now that's beautiful!

i completely agree that words fuck everything up. but unless you are in the same room with the person how are you suppose to let them know how you feel or what you are thinking. however unfortunate it is- our society depends on words- sometimes they are the only things we have to hold onto because everything else is gone. the possibility of everything else is gone. the idea or the notion that you will ever get to use anything else but words to express yourself is no longer an option. you can only communicate better if given the opportunity but what is someone suppose to do when they no longer have that. leslie
