Words

In the beginning was the Word...

That is what the Holy Bible opens with.  I'm not a religious nut-job who is threatening you with brimstone and fire.  I guess my point is that your words define you.

Have you said something mean to somebody?  Why?  Was it because they hurt you and you're trying to get revenge?  Was it an ego trip to make yourself feel better?  Was it something that had been brewing deep inside you and you did a projectile word vomit?

Have you said words to deceive somebody?  Why?  Because you wanted to manipulate and control them?  Make them think you're somebody you're not?  To get out of trouble? 

No matter.  The truth always tends to reveal itself.  Always.  It may take time, but false words can only cover for a false person for a limited factor of time.  Mick Jagger was right.  Time is on my side. 

Have Your Heard About the Word: wa-wa-wa Word, Word, Word, ....word is the bird

Strip away any material things, attachments and awards.  What are you without any external reference at all?  Take away that you are a first-place-world-renouned-whatever.  Take away your ability to compete with anything.  Take away your physical body.  Who and what are you? 

The only thing that remains is your intent and your spirit.  You are really only a physical representative of your word.  A phrase I learned long, long ago but rings so true is, "If a man's word ain't worth nothin', then the man ain't worth nothin."

If your intent is to diffuse possible confrontations and truths because you do not have the integrity nor the guts to be honest with those you claim to care about, you've got another thing coming.... 

Word to your moth-ahh...
