Words Trigger Meaning, Memories, And Emotions

A personal reflection:

It is peculiar how language and words in general trigger certain meanings, memories and emotions. How I see words is a bit different than general, as I often ponder how words touch me differently depending on from what angle I see them, and in what meaning I put into them. When you for example see how claiming one thing is "better", what does that mean really? The word "better" obviously is in regard to some configuration of anyone using it as to promote their view of what is "better", but it implies something else being "worse" right? Well it was just one sample of how the mind tend to divide and hence so many configurations in an intertwined reality can create tension spots where you have polarities of different opinions on what is "better" or "worse". So in any combination of these factors one has to find a middle way, where there is some better for one side and some better for the other side of it, while accepting some "worse" on both sides for it to work.

Negative versus positive, to me? Is a factor which can be difficult to be capable of processing as quick and easily as others due to my diagnosis and sensitivity for stress. Often many factors is at play at the same time in my brain with these words. You have factors which some think, as with "better" and "worse" as "positive" for them, while they might be "negative" for someone else, again we see polarities which depends on whatever side of any position you'd like to take towards whatever matters. This however can also generate tension between "forces". So many language constructs and you get a chaotic mix of forces that might be difficult to cope with once you dive into the depths of understanding complex conflicts anywhere. These might be in any dimension of size, like anything from a part of your physical body which is sick or damaged, to a whole world of different belief systems, political opinions and controlling entities.

Balancing forces, well I'll write more about this as I am coming back to some of the same issues as in this article.

With the power of words as thoughts, one can wonder what they might produce, and words used responsively and intelligently towards a positive outcome is of preference usually, still we as a society have fell for a strategy in the past of using words to divide. How can we use words to connect and find solutions. Ok this needs more work, but I do have difficulties when it comes to what other's see in words, and what I see, as I often end up seeing several things, but when I am stressed I tend to focus on some negative aspects of it, "critically" but then non-beneficial really, energywise. That is the change, looking for lessons and learning, and letting go of the negative implications and memories, that is a real challenge but one that is necessary.
