It is the
seductive and destructive power of neatly placed words. It has heavenly and
dreadful powers of being sexy and ugly at the same time.
It can
change minds, souls, and people. It can spread love, blossom the atmosphere of
warmth, and cherish the likelihood. It can create war, hate among communities,
envy and wrath among people.
Look what
Mark Antony is saying. Look at the eyes of the crowd. How color of their eyes
changing from white to red while listening to his speech.
Look
carefully, what Alexander is addressing to his disheartened army. The army who
was just talking about rebellion against him is now calm. They were angry, even
now they are angry, but reason has been changing. Now they are ready to fight
immortal.
Look at the
Hitler; he is giving a speech in Germany. I am telling you, I didn't understand
a single word from his speech. But that enthusiasm made a goose bumps on my hands. Someone just
told me that he talked something about winning the world. I know this is
disastrous but I still want to believe in what he just said.
I am listening
to the speech of Winston Churchill on radio. All my Englishman wants to end
this war and surrender. But see, what magic is happening. They now want to fight
till the last man lives on the land Of England.
Look, Abraham
Lincoln is announcing the emancipation Proclamation. I can see the confidence
and freedom in the eyes of my slave negro brothers.
Look, what
Barack Obama is saying in presidential campaign. I can clearly see hope in eyes
of people.
Look at the
Charlie Chaplin, he is not even speaking, he is showing some expressions. But I
don’t know why I am getting attracted towards him? I am the slave of the words,
but he is not even speaking. Why I am feeling that the world’s most beautiful
words coming out from his expressions.
I am going
to catch these words. Will you come with me? I will put them in world’s safe
locker and hide them in the deep ocean of books to hand over to future
generations.
I am a true
believer of God, but what just Mark Twain said, changing my beliefs. Am I atheist
now? I don’t know. I really don’t know.
I like to
hear war history, stories of the great warriors, their Hugh empires, their
beautiful queens, astonishing palaces and uncountable wealth. But oh God! Suddenly
I lost my all feelings about these materialistic things. Is this a impact of
Gautam Buddha’s book I read yesterday night? Maybe. Maybe
not.
Please someone
come and release me and my brothers from prison of the words. The more I want
to come out of it, the more and more it is seducing me to stay. I am the victim
of this seduction. I am telling you stay away from it. It will swallow you too.
After all
the experiments on my life now I am learning what is sexy and what is ugly. I
am realizing the seductive power of neatly placed words and destructive power
of neatly placed foul words.
At the end
of the day, oh lord, I am asking for only one thing. Give me power to
differentiate, virtuous and evil, good and bad, heaven and hell, true and
false.
Amen!!
