In the beginning was a Word

We honestly don't know what hurts a person..... we don't know what makes them tick, we don't know what they think when they are alone....and thus our words must be sweet but true....

I honestly don't understand why as people we leave things to fester when we could just find relief.... like for instance, i offend you.... you contemplate whether to tell me but then decide against it.... I'm oblivious to this
 ( i can't read your mind....you know this).....now every time you see me, you feel your blood boil, your breathing shoots up and suddenly nje you wish to kill me....I'm oblivious to this..... so knowing you didn't and don't plan too ever confront me..... you pretend....and I'm oblivious to the fact that i lost a friend...but i have.... looks/sounds (both are wrong but nje) petty ne...... that's cause it is....(notice how utterly and totally oblivious I seem to be)....

What was the easiest situation in the world festers into a hate so immaculate that it can drive anyone to extreme lengths.... we have been taught never to say anything...never to pick fights....we've conformed to the misconception that talking doesn't help.....by the very people who say " umntwana longa khali ufela embelekweni"...meaning 'a baby that doesn't cry dies in the womb'.....

Ima revert to music, theirs a gospel artist, Donny Ngwenyama, who sings a song that says; "ufelani ungakhulumi, ufelani na unga khali, ngabe utolil'usizo".....roughly translated ' why are you killing yourself by not talking or crying cause you could've gotten help...( yeah...i translate manje...mense want to keep up shem) it is the most simplest thing....why hurt yourself for what will feel like an eternity....WORDS WERE CREATED TO BE SPOKEN...

Some people aren't friends anymore because they refused...(not couldn't....it was a choice so wouldn't/didn't want to)......to say sorry, they refused to sit down and talk....they let a 5 second word simmer into an emotional life time feeling they term hate.....(i say term because once they do have that much needed talk.....they simmer down and like each other again....they meet outside this feeling"....I hate shows like  doctor Phil and your Tyra banks talk show... because they show the dumbness...dare i say...of the human mind... so we couldn't talk until we got to TV..(whooops.....i said it).....we couldn't find a mediator in our lives......to the point where we will pour out our hearts on Tv....nes soos 'n victim..... give me a break assemblief.... especially during ezi shows

Are we that petty....? really? does our mind really dislike us so much that it would disgrace us kaso in front of the publics nje....? I refuse  to think so.... wars and genocides are started because people refuse to talk.... i would rather incite my friends as well then we'll org a quantum to take us to you so we can hit you...vir eng? haw kodwa can we just be practical...."hey listen, what you said didn't it well with me, can we discuss it?"....simple is it not...

Many people use the excuse that people don't listen....lemmi ask you this then, do you ever try? Approach is as much a part of this as the fixing things now is....  you cant talk like your farting....have relief but leave a nasty backlash in the air....you have to be controlled...realizing that shouting only deceives you into thinking you have more bravery than you actually do....don't overreact or over-think...breathe and get into a space where you'd prefer people to approach you in when your wrong.....believe me, the concept do unto others took me years to learn...but its a necessity in approach.....

WORDS HAVE THE POWER TO CURL AROUND A PERSONS NECK AND MAKE IT LOOK LIKE SUICIDE....BUT WORDS ALSO HAVE THE POWER TO BRING SUCH JOY, THAT ITS A FRUIT THAT CAN BE EQUALLY SHARED BY A WHOLE NATION.....Words are power, they are used in speeches to convince you, rallies to inform you, songs to sooth you and utterances to converse with you..... WORDS START WARS AND END THEM BUT MOST IMPORTANTLY WORDS PREVENT WARS..... the simple decision to speak now and heal now....to admit your mistake now and to apologize now....

the decision to say it now, to not let a feeling fester, to be honest to yourself and those around you....the decision to open up now.....may be the difference between the prolonged life of your relationships....or the death of honesty, trust, faith and hope...the intro of la disappointment.... Fix things now, that's where they  began...let it be where they end... jho motho, ensure that you dont have regrets....

After all the well of wisdom, coincidentally called the Word, does say..." the power of life and death is in the tongue"......so out of the abundance (what fills..or..the truth)...of the heart, may your mouth speak.....prevent...and prolong......Say it now, today...say what you need to say....in the beginning was the Word....say a Word....

Consider it pure joy
