Words Set You Free


Learn the Word and you'll learn to harness the power of the world. Treat the word lightly and your reins will be made of paper, your bits of brittle clay. At the slightest tug, your ideas fall apart and you stand there, garbling like a baby.
Treat words with respect. They kill the irreverent every day. Thousands of people, many naive, many more arrogant, misuse, abuse, and confuse their words so their meaning's misheard or mistaken. Soon their head's on a spike beside a thousand other cunts who opened their mouths without thinking.
The Wonderful World of the Internet has given us a whole new way to wield our words. Like kids with new toys, we're smashing the shit outta things. There are no rules so we gotta make em up as we go. Words are the light revealing the darkness, revealing what can kill us or save us.
The best way to get yourself into a comfortable relationship with words is to read like a motherfucker. Read everything you can and sprinkle in a hefty dose of what other people call Good Books. If you don't like something, move on. But first, ask yourself if it's cause you're too dumb. You can always come back when you're a little less of a moron.
The power is in your hands. Master the word and you master the world.
