I had a thought,
that we all interpret
words so differently.
The dictionary tells
us the the accepted
meanings of all words,
then as individuals
with our own outlooks
and set of circumstances,
we interpret the word further
giving it a finite meaning
on our own terms.
unfortunately often peoples
from different backgrounds
interpret things differently.
For instance tonight I saw
an email from Wikipedia
made here in Cape Town,
with children from a poor school
with no library, appealing
to the phone companies and Wikipedia
to allow them free access to
Wikipedia through their cell phones.
I thought it was brave and well put together
so I signed their petition;
while thinking how the phone
companies would interpret
their petition, and being business men,
I’m sure there understanding
and meaning of these words is very different.
If we could get past these differences
how much better, friendlier and more peaceful
our laboring world would be.
Here for your interest is the petition:http:// https://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/WPZeroPetition/201409e
so true!
Thanks for the comment, liking and following my blog, have a great and creative weekend, best wishes and blessings, Charles.
