words..
If i can put into words what I am feeling right now, then perhaps I would be writing one of the most wonderful compositions ever written. Yet this extreme emotion transcends every letter of the alphabet, its absoluteness cannot be contained by even the most powerful words. Perhaps words are the best expression of man’s inner thoughts, yet words simply cannot materialize man’s innermost feelings . True it is that words are powerful- they can strike one’s heart deeply, they can make one travel from one galaxy to another, they can create pictures in one’s mind. Yet words are mere words, they cannot fully capture and vividly express the genuine joy that emanates from the deepest recesses of one’s soul. Simply put, words can never equal the intensity of an actual feeling. Perhaps words can speak for one’s pain, yet it can never feel that pain. For PAIN in print is far more different from the pain felt in actuality - the type of pain that kills. Words can relay a single emotion, yet it can never speak for a million emotions that occur all at once. Words can describe JOY, but it can never see that joy from the perspective of the eyes that saw it and the heart that felt it. It can never match the intensity of an actual happiness- the one that makes one leap and shout and laugh out loud without even knowing why. Words can speak of love, but it can never tell exactly what love is. Words degrade LOVE by just equating it with joy, pain, patience, understanding, etc… LOVE is LOVE. It simply cannot be put into words. Yes i do recognize the power of words in conveying one’s innermost thought and emotions. Yet the reflection it creates is just a mere shadow of the actual. Vague, formless, hollow…
