Below is a piece I wrote no too long ago in consideration of the written word and often how, though powerful, words can become static and interpreted incorrectly particularly when it comes to context of the time in which they were written, the inspiration and the emotional state of the writer.

It is simply so easy to judge and simply dangerous because a word without context, or more to a finer point that I believe, a word without order, is not a definition of anything in an of itself or in any concrete sense. This is, however, not how the intake of this kind of material usually goes and can lead to monumental misunderstandings.

I urge readers to engage one another and me, the author. I urge, always, to ask “why?” and I urge, most of all, for you to absorb these words and wonder. Words are the first and final great expression of the human spirit and they shape our world; let us share, define and explore them before we decide anything else.

Sincerely,
J. Keys

I suppose if someone’s going to misinterpret or get the wrong idea about anything I write there’s little to stop it –not that this is news to anyone; it’s certainly not news to me.

Comments, however, are revealed here and I find it time, here and there, to step back in as words can become frozen and timeless in an inappropriate way. People see and read a word and then suddenly make summary of the thing, the idea or even the author without much else consideration… it is the quintessential error of every slanted perspective and the need to attack or defend those words even the idea of an idea that in fact is not static nor linear.

My words always have reasons. They are complex but they are not complicated. These words have purpose otherwise I would not share them… much less write them down. My thoughts and challenges do not require a grain of salt, only a greater mind though they often incite the lesser.

The decision, either way, is yours… but you’re probably wrong and I’m probably right :-)

Sincerely,
J. Keys

-[Amendment]-

The above was not retaliatory but an exposed review in my own mind of how so many things I have written that become so stale and static because of the nature of this medium (of all written mediums really) that is then not correctly considered in the context of time/space in which is was written and, more importantly, whyyyy… such presumptions not only lead to misunderstanding but even a gross mis-characterization of, well, anyone (this happens all too often even on the merit of a simple piece of literature when so much is presumed of the writer and they no longer exist to defend or explain those words).

Having said THAT I believe my original above response is thus proven by the very need for this amended explanation you now read….

Quot erat demonstrandum (QED) = {thus it is demonstrated}
