Language Like People

Language is like people. People like language because people like words. The most beautiful are the simple and sincere ones. Simple and sincere words are considered beautiful, and so are the people who are genuine and authentic in their interactions and relationships. Simple beautiful words imply beauty in people, like the language they speak. Words of honesty and lack of pretense are rare like people who speak the language of truth.

I hear the voices that disagree. Not everyone thinks that communication and truth are at the top of the list. What about intellect and common interests? Language is the key to beautiful love and self-expression of emotions. Any words are a gift in spoken verbal, written, and even unspoken forms. For me, poetry invites people to look at the world throughout my words and truth because language is like people.

We have carefully to select the right words, small words and large words, kind words and ugly words both change your world.

Deep conversations could lead to acceptance, and even intimacy. Both love and patience are expressions of manifestation because true words always find the way to human hearts. Words help understand people’s needs and wants. People are a mirror reflection of their language.

I hear the voice of my sister who lost the best friend to talk to. I hear the voice of a man who is a widower and found unconditional love language in his devoted pet. In the age of artificial digital communication, truth hides in texts. Words become the compass that leads you to navigate on your journey.

Beautiful people create amazing information literacy. English language literature, classic and contemporary both are more than a popular trend.

Language like people. Linguistics is a study of Philology that collectively keeps the language alive. The Modern Language Association (MLA) leads contemporary language development. But it was not always like this.

In the 1700s, teens were accused of being… addicted to novels. Not alcohol. Not gambling. Reading. Across Europe, a strange fear gripped adults. Young people were devouring novels at a pace never seen before. They read at the dinner table, in bed, even while walking through the streets. This wasn’t seen as a harmless hobby. It was called “reading fever” or “book addiction.” Some claimed it would ruin their minds.

Language like people. We are surrounded by people who use words, speak one or more languages, and words matter as well is matters what and how people say the words. When I say, ‘a word, a word, my kingdom for a word,’ what I really say is that I am lonely, the first time in my life alone, and miss the real human voice, a word or two. My words became memories. Thanks God, there are books to read, loud TV, and beautiful lyrics of endless songs. Accumulated real-life stories lead the language, human tung, and the mind alive. Cheers to you, all good people who like the words like I do!
