Dear Editor
Words, Words, Words
So many have been written, spoken, thought, agreed with, rejected, ignored.
Far too many for any individual to assess their value, opinion, fact or lies.
Words are an interpretation of events, of life that can be viewed from many angles.
Words can be a guide, this also viewed from many angles.
Words, then, are quite powerful in guiding events and influencing minds.
It follows in whose interest are events guided and minds influenced?
We, as individuals of the human race, have a limited span of time in which to grow up, live and love and create better conditions for the next generations.
Tremendous advances have been made worldwide, yet as you read these ‘words’ there is widespread poverty here in the UK but worse is happening in many countries: thousands of the next generation are dying of hunger and disease – why? Why, when the world has the resources and technology to prevent this happening, but does not or will not so so?
Is it that powerful people are operating a system that cannot so it; if so then the system must be changed. Do the powerful people want to change the system? – the answer is NO. They expend millions of words in support of the existing system; guiding events, influencing minds to ascertain their powerful positions of control.
Are they then evil? Some would say so. Are they indifferent to the results of the system they promote? Most likely, otherwise normal human concern and feelings would conclude this system of capitalism no longer has any place in this world.
