Words

Words are getting lighter and their impact more... or rather, simply..less. In the Twitter age, words are quick, unconsidered and disposable. Remarks stay in virtual suspension - preparing to echo through future ethers, yet conversely these words lose their gravity and weight. We seem to acknowledge this floating by and swim along with it. Does it matter if you say something wrong anymore? Spell something incorrectly? mix up your tenses? forget your grammar? Not really it would seem. The meaning is swimming along too, drifting in and out of our word cluttered minds. It's a traffic jam in there: no sooner than one pile of words comes driving in, another drives out to make room. We have so much to say , beacuse we hear so much said and this perpetual flow cannot be stemmed. No significant halt or break in the flow occurs and as such a stick or a stone can never be picked up.
