Shelly Patsdawter According to the Dictionary, the definition of the word 'dictionary' is a book that contains the words of a language and information about the 'words'. It contains information about the 'words' ... not us ... the 'words'. We are NOT 'words'! No where Read more ... in the Dictionary does it profess to contain information about anything that exists!!! Education, a system that no one alive invented used a book that contains the words of a language and instead of telling us that words only represented the sound of a voice, they let us believe that \words' were what the things that they were pointing at in class ARE! Now our minds are converting everything that we see, which is NOT language ... into language without our conscious knowledge and this is what is making us go to war and take the lives of innocent beings. If we do not all lay down our weapons and come to grip with the fact that the sound of our voice is not something that physically exists, nothing will survive. ~sp 02 26 2015
