Words

 

I am going to try to avoid religious type words , and focus on words that

relate more to our government, and stuff.

So, the thing with words is: in general we use them and we don't always

know what they mean exactly, but because we have an emotional connection

we use them, and perhaps even forcefully, but not always effectively.

Of course, there is also the school of thought that as long as you spell

them right, you can use them any way you want.

However, there are two IMHO, books which address some of this pretty

well and they are Wholeness and the Implicate Order, David Bohm and

The Human Use of Human Beings, Norbert Wiener.  Of course, there

are undoubtedly more.

So for example, " We hold these truths to be self evident, that all men are

created equal " ....

So objectively my first reaction to this is, --- ARE THESE GUYS NUTS ---

You got " self evident " you got " truths " you got " men " and you got

"equal ",,,,

You find this stuff of course quite often among religious folks.  And of course

" equal " is pretty much the "go to " for mathematician who are all about

making things of a variety of types " equal " mostly because it makes

them feel like they are doing their jobs.   

But the big problem with these words, is, there is no time in your life that you

can just - stop - learning about them and of course, perhaps some may

have a better understanding than others, but then, there is also the issue of 

perspective. 

And so, I can't go much further with this, but basically, this is a HUGE issue

right now.  The key to these issues is learning; and perhaps a little care in

how and when we use them.  ( semi-colon )

And I am not even talking about justice or Justice ....

 

Note: the use of both colon and semi colon ... Makes it a bit forthy.
