For the Love of Words

Character Injury

What is your relationship with words? We use them every day in speech. Many are vile. Some are prosaic. Others are authoritative. Words help us communicate direction, fantasy, hope, and an entire range of human emotions. Sadly, a fratricide of language is overshadowing affection.

Epidemic word degradation infects entertainment, which claims household dialog as a casualty. Parents and children hurl profanity at each other like knife throwers.

Assassins shoot mnemonics and acronyms like automatic weapons within text messages and social media. The victims of nimble thumbs include not only the characters of fictional stories. The alphabetic characters within beautiful words are hemorrhaging.

Love Reading Words

Where can we receive treatment for vocabularic lacerations? You may discover a triage within books. Long before they became the pillar of online Amazon shopping, men died to disseminate papyrus scrolls, codexes, and books. The most valuable of these are holy writings, with the distribution of the Bible exceeding all others by orders of magnitude.

Within this book, we learn that the history of different languages dates back to the Tower of Babel. The printing press was born to reproduce the Bible, with its treasure trove of history, geography, instruction, prophecy, and poetry.

Amazon catapulted digital books into the temporal lobes of the population with Kindle readers. Other companies, embracing the digital ePub format, proliferate books and other documents. This makes it possible to carry an entire library in your hand and adjust the font size.

The vast worldwide web then experienced exponential growth with blogs by nascent authors. In the words of wise King Solomon, “To the making of many books, there is no end.” —Ecclesiastes 12:12.

Cognitively Ill-Equipped

Would you intentionally board a ship that’s unable to float? Would you traverse a desert without water? Mankind is both drowning in, while dying of thirst for, words. More than half of Americans between the ages of 16 and 74 read below the equivalent of a sixth-grade level.

To more than 50 percent of the population, a beautiful story, painstakingly composed by a talented author, resembles legal contractural jargon. With illiteracy impeding the ability to comprehend enchanting words, readers skim details, retreat to social media, or wait for the movie.
