What word may I form and deliver to grow, brighten or change the world? For in this quest of mastery to man, words are our greatest offering. Thereby the essential task of a learned man is to measure, shape, prepare and deliver the word that matters most and to equally forestall, refrain and abstain from delivering caustic or dismissive language. How then am I tempered in life by my own doing or epistemological influence to consistently locate, test and offer word that is productive, encouraging and fruitful?

For men seek power and there is more power found within the kind tongue than twenty armies muster. Equally acidic rhetoric may exponentially inflame or destroy that which is frail and expectant to maintenance. Therefore, we must embark upon study, practice and recalibration to develop mature assets in eloquence, comfort and descriptive hope if we ever hope to find the greatest authority available in this life, the power to transform the world around us. This assumes that I am a self sufficient being taking no influence, training or direction from my peers, tutors, elders or God. However we know immediately the inadequacy of our thinking as these influences will in fact produce the greatest impact upon our verbal delivery. Man is not a vacuum and does not go through life solely effected by his own counsel and apprehension. We are products of those voices that we choose as our guides to maturity. So in expectation of word mastery our choices must be made with wisdom and calculation if we expect to achieve optimization.

God makes sense. A review of Biblical reason and the sacrificial mission of a living God is by all account the greatest story of human achievement known to man. God’s Direction and word therefore becomes an essential study as man quests the pinnacle performance. Those who fear it for religiosity would never say the same of Plato or Plutarch which begs the immediate question why the thresholds of thought apply solely to the Word of God. Especially considering its pivotal position and man shaping content or impact upon our oral delivery and emotional eloquence. Study the philosophers but first study God for all the philosophers are offering commentary on that which God created. Second-hand thought is never better than original thinking. Do not be cajoled by lesser men into narrowing horizons by excluding the Greatest Word just to please the fear or hate of man.

Once sufficient literary content, grammar and vocabulary have been established the encumbrance transforms to one of voice/style discovery. Each must find his own voice or listen for the musings that play solely in their own heart. None of us want to be someone else we want to have their skills and then out perform them earning our ambitious acquaintance in fame. We always want to outdo our teachers, idles and Fathers. There are no copy cats only those who in so mimicking have admitted the superiority of those gone before us. Each of us is made unique and were always intended to deliver new flavors and content to the universe. So find your voice, even and especially when the building blocks of our own writing, speech and thought resemble the best of our teachers.

The rest as in life is practice. Life is its own meaning. The importance is found in the living, the doing the empirical breathing, thinking, speaking and acting given each of us for a number of years. Your word will become rich or poor by how your life is lived. It will become colored by the grief or joy you experience or maintain in this living. If you wish to change the world then your Words must be of sufficient content, structure and power to motivate others to that transformation. You alone can determine whether you are an edifying influence or succubus. To live and love and sing, speak or write for positive construct of others is the greatest achievements, though those who seek dominion will express their power in consuming all around them. As in all things the greatest power of life is in the choice. The choice of our words is the greatest expression and indication of our choices and our spiritual authority. Choose wisely for others are always listening and perhaps will be changed for the better by what you’ve shared.
