On language

It is scary what language has become capable of in our modern society, its power has risen to a point that most mainstream flow of information can brainwash millions simply because it is a code that can be understood by the masses and controlled by the elite minorities. Many countries claim to have freedom of press yet Theodore Kaczynski needs to threaten the New York Times with a bomb in their building to have his manifesto published for all to see. Language has the ability to lie, to destroy, to spill the truth, and to create depending on the person using it, thus it is fragile. The question is, is it worth that risk? And to be honest i really don't know if it is. I do know that a diversity of languages is beautiful, and it helps preserve culture, sounds and vibrations comming out in different ways ends up creating gateways to endless music genres just because the sounds emmited from each language are so different and beautiful. Language can dictate that lust is sin yet the words lust and sin are sensual and captivating on their own, when put together they have sex in a sentence and it's beautiful, contradictory, it reveals the hypocricy and complexity of language a great reflection of human life. Language can seperate or unite a people, yet we all have our language, our codes, our habits. There might not be a set code for communication between the human specie and other species of living beings yet we can communicate, we can communicate how we feel just through a look, or an energy wave we send to one another, its beautiful uncontrolled with no set pattern, something more primitive and i mean that in the best of ways. Yet words may tend to lose their meaning and are subject to change constantly, when you tell someone you love them, they might not really believe you do because the frase "i love you" is said often and thrown around carelessly. So either they will say "oh i love you too" or give in a giggle and let the acward statement melt away. It can be quite sad, i truly mean i love you when i say it to people (although i may say it a lot but its true) , but its not sad aswell, it calls for my imagination to run off and take charge of the situation, see how i can bend and twist new words to mean the same thing as i couldve said with 3 words but use 20 instead and have it leave a more profound effect on someone. I'am not sure if this paragraph has any coherance, buts its a blog, for tok, and thats that. :)
