Eyes vs Words

They say eyes are the windows to a person's soul. I say it is not. Words are.

Eyes are able to lie, if you're good enough. Plus people wear coloured contact lenses now. How are you able to tell?

Writing gives a person the freedom to choose its words, form of expression, an invisible boundry as to how far one wants to go. (But obviously if you wind up like RPK, don't come running to me).

But seriously, it is the best way to express your thoughts. Your deepest thoughts, one in which when you're deep in it, you think you couldn't possibly tell anyone. But when you grab a pen (or start clicking away on your keyboard), there is no telling as to how far you can go. (up till the point where you don't know what nonsense you're writing about)

Words are important, albeit the phrase actions speak louder than words. Human beings are complicated creatures. If you don't show actions enough, they complain. And then if you show just actions, they say you never tell them how you feel. Break a balance? Never will do.

Words, if expressed properly, calm people down, in times of difficulty, they being people back from cliff's edges, bring back the light into people's eyes, warms up their souls, restores common sense into their minds.

It shows how much a person is willing to do for you, willing to give up for you, willing to give in to you. Sometimes you swallow your pride, your ego, to conjure up the words just to make another feel a little bit better. And although it is not appreciated, you feel a little better inside. For you know you've tried. At least you've given it all you've got.

We write not to be understood. But because we cannot be misunderstood. We are granted the gift of speech for a reason. Ever wonder why dogs bite and cats scratch? You think dogs bite cause they're born to bite? Maybe its just because you're ugly. You won't know right? They will forever be misunderstood because they cannot ever speak to you in words.

I'm trying very hard not to be morbid. Very very hard. We all know words are not all yummylicious. But just for once, I'll just end here without going over to the dark side..

So, if you're wondering why on earth I'm babbling about words today...well, let's just say, it helped me get some sleep last night. It was all wrapped up with the help of a pen & paper.
