Juxtapose: to put side by side or close together -
jux'ta-po-si'tion n.
This was the word I woke up with on my mind this morning. Words have much
meaning to me but I didn't have the energy to over analyze the word and how it applied to my life. No, instead of that, I started to ponder the power of words.
For instance, one adjective can be replaced with eleven other words that have
the same meaning. Case in point:
deliberate adj. intentional, conscious, willful, considered, planned,
calculated, intended, purposeful, premeditated, designed, unhurried
Some words seem to have more bearing then others. Choose the right ones
and I'm ignited with desire, a yearning to have or want more, perhaps even, to
love you. The unfortunate side of the human tongue is hurt. I can be thrown into a
world of pain when words are chosen to provoke just that. Then I will
hate you and feel sick anytime my eyes behold you, so be careful and choose
what you say wisely. Once spoken, you cannot take words back and you may,
very well, end up eating them with nothing to wash them down.
