Talk Vs Text

I think talk is so overrated.

Talk is the key to all chaos we see in the world around us today. The religious and political divides; the socialists and the communists; the left wings and the right wings; the anarchists and the pacifists; all spew ‘talks’ to discredit and belittle others and make themselves believe in their causes, which to be honest are not that inherently different in that their causes serve them and no one else.

Wouldn’t the world be a peaceful place if we could silence the constant spew of opinions and instead listened or read. For starters, listened to our own selves and find the little voices of reason and intuition we are all born with but that we learn to so affectively drown as we grow older. We drown our inner voices of reason and sanity to join self-serving causes; in hopes of worldly redemption from people like us — which we don’t need to begin with. The only redemption we need is from the higher power that created us with a clear purpose or in our own eyes.

I am not a big believer in the power of talk. In fact it should be dubbed the art of deception, or brain washing. Ninety nine percent of the time those famous for their time-revered speeches in history, military, religious, political or social, have been proven hypocritical at best, presenting idealistic views of self sacrifice and service that they themselves never followed through…
