Misplaced Word

An object of thought 💭 In thinking of the right words to say , I know, I may not sound like what you may want me to say.

In thinking of the right words to say , I know, I may not sound like what you may want me to say.

Whether at home or living abroad,(“comfortably,”with words,)one may wonder about the moronic silences that can creep in between the said-unsaid. And also, as in the trotting troopship, some words can lecture into passages, exchanging new forms, imagery or even a new meaning, shot up as a necessity of being on the “same-page,”day or age.

You may say —Oration is not for the faint hearted, and rationing it,calls for an absolute discretion. Thus, engaging in this “tag game,” of verbal exchanges, one can experience the effect of adventure, total amazement or even staggered bewilderments. So here the course can take on any “object,” (of perception,) and plant it over any other imaginative state💭of objective- subjective existence. And herein arrives the “misplaced word,” acting up to the displaced “subjective-objective field,” of metaphoric arrays, fitting closely as it ever may.

And in trying to be most —deep and clear, the word as an object, can get obliquely opaque in stating that which it is representative of saying, anyways.

What’s there in this “gaming-naming,” fame— you may ask?!

The ruling signifier in this gaming-naming process is a contraption, perhaps, like a metamorphosis, wildly given as a transformative imagery symbolically passed on as a customary causation. Hopefully not a casualty.

For example,look at the aspect of this simple erudition conveyed in the following poem —

With withered leaves I weave my boat

and seemingly float it on the vast

I know not how to swim , ‘coz they know not how to cast —💫✨ 🧡🦢🦢🦢🧡 ✨💫 An Omnibus of thought 💭

Symbolically, the preceding can ( in all frankness,) be perceived , perhaps, on different accounts of notions and perceptions.

The opacous turbidity in those words could be deciphered either as a gray or a grey matter all the way, which “while being read as an “object,”of imagination, could be seen as a misplacement , displacement, approbation or even appropriation of words, displayed in so many alternative ways. And for the seeding growth seeking consanguinity with the world of illusive logics, translucency can get tied to the space- time or time-spaced passage.

That makes a world of difference! There are no two thoughts to it !

“Quae visa placent,” says St. Thomas Aquinas —which literally implies that “objects,” have the power to please. Hence, a perceived object can only be —“that much appealing,” in as much as it impresses the eyes of the beholder.

And done with skill, “object- words”can be equally gratifying but only to the extent that they succeed in seeking the approval of the mind’s eye.

So, clearly, goodness in words or word objects seem evident in the way they reveal themselves in sight and most of all, the context of the revealing situation. Therefore, misplaced words ( objects) can be both panoramic and equally startling in our grander understanding of things and contexts. For example the word-object named Apple 🍎 in the context of it’s appearance takes on a different connotation in the book of genesis. In fact the Apple’s 🍎 whole tendency gets associated with a prohibitive act against it’s consumption. First, it becomes a source of pleasure and then, it gets traced to a sort of subjective—objectification by the beholder ; a matter of suggestive effect depicted and portrayed in it’s very nature , manner and composition. So on account of discrimination painted against Apple 🍎, I protest ! Why should mankind give a far lesser or greater personification to objects on their own accord. How can such a brutal cynicism be placed upon Apples 🍎. How can humanity ,in its search for elevated ideals ,hold restrictive orders over apples and also simultaneously, manger upon it as the last hope towards survival before calling in a doctor. I mean what kind of antithetical paradox could it be when apples 🍎 are seen as doubly pleasing in this either/or “never to be taken or eaten,” ways. Tell me, why was this unusual magnificence imposed upon Apples 🍎 in order to produce such an internal elevation of mind and touted human virtues . I am astonished 😯 especially when Apple’s solemness was casted away much as much it shows it’s proclivity in seizing diseases, delineated as in the following proverb : “an Apple 🍎 a day keeps the doctor away. “ Far more than anything, some objectified words ( such as Apples 🍎) can create a sense of “paradise lost,” effect. Think 💭 about it?!

And , then again, going forward with other fruit comparisons , Apples could be facing a “step-sisterly” steerage while being gauged against , let’s say, a bunch of grapes 🍇. Principally, that synthesis could bring in a vast vague order by pressing discriminatory charges against mankind for making Apples 🍎 appear more impure than it’s compatriot kin —the grape🍇. So words and objects when left unhinged upon earthly can have a disastrous effect. Isn’t that a dangerous provocation in itself. To that point, an understanding would place a greater honor, than any ardent speech made out in the open —like this. None the less, some words can confer specific intents —more so, when delivered (in time,) to meet, all the sensory modalities in the context.

And then , for a formulation to make an unguent speech effect, the mind may ,at times, relinquish the beseeching cogito’s scripted concept. In doing so, the intellect impedes”will,” to catch up with all matters, bringing wherewithal skill to it’s perfection’s best. In Expression! Yeah!

It’s then and there, the right flow of rhetoric comes in alive ,as in, a fresh breath of air. 😊

Signing off with Free Speech while keeping an eye 👁️ over “misplaced —word-objects,” which may be at the brink of making perspicacious mistakes.
