Everything you see today, every manifestation of man’s ingenuity and stupidity alike, from our simplest display of humanity to the very depths of inhumane salvage acts that is set on the stage of reality, an underlying truth remains unseen and it might as well be the very foundation for all the visual images that make up the gallery we today call life.
Now, the poet in me wants to keep this all a mystery probably give you one or two hints so you could sit and think till you had your “eureka” moment but I’ll save you the trouble and hit this nail right on the head(not really though, more like after a few more words!). Most times than often we find out that the most important persons, the most important places to be or even our everyday decisions in our various different lives are in fact the most ignored. It kinda reminds me of the structure of a tree and a man-made house.
You see, although both may be absolutely different, a good reason being their source and state of existence they however share one similarity hence the importance of this illustration. For every beautiful tree or cleverly designed building you pass by, you unconsciously appreciate what your eyes see whether audibly or not but we also are fully aware that the beauty we behold does not stand as the most important of the building or tree.
Beneath the ground, out of sight to almost all is a firmly laid structure built with careful precision and emphasis on agility and durability to form the foundation (for buildings) or roots (for trees). It is this structure that is laid first, takes more time and is in fact the most important of all parts because it is responsible for setting a stage for the display of all the benefit you stand to gain from a building or tree.
Now, to drive home my point, I can say this, “All that you see today were first thoughts that were successfully transcribed to words”. I know as you read this, you obviously think this is such a “bogus” statement but I sincerely hope your curiosity gets the better of you, so you can read on!
Now, I have a whole bucket of facts to defend this somewhat “bogus” claim but what better place to start than the beginning of the earth itself. Due to the fact I do not subscribe to the evolution theory of the origin of life, I would refer to the theory provided by the bible (which in my opinion holds more water than any). It was clearly recorded that after the creation of the earth it was dark and empty (Genesis 1:2). In the next verse, one would expect in the face of such a challenge, God would have proceeded to do something about it but funny enough He just proceeded to speak quite a simple phrase really and VWALAH! The strongest physical power force on earth till date appeared (by this I mean the Sun).
The rest of the chapter accounts to how most of everything natural around us today were created just by the words from God. This certainly certifies my claim to an extent but before I drop this point, lets take a look at verse 26 of that same chapter and we see God making a sorta different statement than He had been accustomed to. Previously, He had stuck to the “Let there be” prefix (that is if you are using the King James Version of the bible). So He’s like “Let there be this” “Let there be that” till verse 26 He says “Let us make man …” Hold up!, a thought was first pronounced as a word first before we were ever created. Hey I’m no neurosurgery genius neither can I claim to know what’s on anyone’s mind but I know for a fact that my claim is true and words, they do have power! The proven fact that every single thing that exists first existed as a word speaks proof to this. See y’all soon!
