Ok ok,
I have realised that the greatest power on earth does not lie within a block of uranium. On the contrary, the greatest power lies within ourselves. Yes, The power of speech.
Mere words alone, syllables made out of primitive sounds, in disarray. But to think that when put together in a sequence with an intended meaning, these primitive sounds have toppled whole governments and caused worldwide chaos, one has to stop and think.
They can move the world, the masses, in blind belief, and these authoritative sources have always held a strong sense of self righteousness, however artificial subjective or misleading.
Journalism that believed in reporting the really real, the truly true never did survive long. The truth can be altered, nudged, watered down, and can be a real Jedi mind trick on many people.
Sometimes I wonder if it is important for all of us to sing the same note. Do we all even have to pretend to fall for the Jedi Mind Tricks. But how justified is our perception? What about the voices in our heads that are screaming against what we are doing, and yet can only remain in silence? We have become powerless, because we’ve lost speech.
I have realised that the greatest power on earth does not lie within a block of uranium. On the contrary, the greatest power lies within ourselves. Yes, The power of speech and we might just be losing it.
Cheers
ps: Many people lost their speech after reading this.
