What Did You Say?

| The trees are fixed, so to move them is a futile effort. To navigate around and among what is fixed is a noble effort. Consider what is fixed and also how it provides shade and sustenance. |
Some portions of mankind have been experiencing years of correctness.
Political correctness in language.
Although the effort seems well-intended, often times that effort mutes clarity.
Proper sentiment is made confusing or is possibly lost.
There are certain words and expressions that surely have been needing to be washed out of mouths as with soap.
Yet words do not originate in the mouth nor even the tongue nor even the vocal cords... but the heart.
One may suppose that the mind guides the heart in word choice, and this is the logical conclusion.
However, if you've ever misspoken a single word, you may have learned that it was your heart's condition, at that moment which mislead your mind to choose, or allow, that misspoken word to be uttered.
In the effort to speak more correctly to appease public expectations, truth has been interpreted relatively instead of rationally.
Feelings guide such irrationality, instead of long-standing rudiments in logic.
Political overtures are largely saturated by emotions.
Logical debate seems like an ancient painting, dusty, hanging in a museum.
Instead of each individual human being experiencing growing pains towards maturity, some people are expecting the world around them to change.
It is an inside-out effort that renders lasting results... even in the outside world.
Not an outside-in... for this effort is what drops the truth in favor for what is common.
And what is common is commonly wrong.
