THIS THING CALLED THE MIND AND THE MOUTH

 

Lengthy talks compressed into fewer words. Here is the key. Decode.




The mind comes into the world tabula rasa. It is a clean slate.

The mouth is the pen; the words, the ink.

The mind is the paper; the access, the medium of hearing.


The mouth comes in contact with the mind.


Boom!



If the ink be bad, it blossoms. If it be good, it blossoms still.

If the ink be bad, it is dangerous. If it be good, it is safe.

If the ink be bad, it is poisonous. If it be good, it is life-giving.

 



These two seem to be involved in a daily, weekly or lifetime combat about who will prevail and what will stay.


But,


The mind is not totally helpless like a literal paper.

It is not totally at the mercy of the external.  The access depends on its carrier.



It  examines the ink  about to be used on the paper.

It separates manipulation from collaboration.

 It separates bias from fact.

It differentiates between objectivity and subjectivity.

It separates respect from mockery and loyalty from slavery.

 

 It exists in everyone but could be made dormant.


Who is to be blamed?

 


Beautiful people, it's a new week. Do not leave your mind at the mercy of vain and corrupt words.

Have a great week ahead!
