I’m a sucker for funny anecdotes, idioms and even graffiti messages. Most of you will agree that it’s a delight to display them as a status message on Gtalk or Facebook, what with all those pings u get from your chat buddies. There’s something about these lines that fascinates me.
Firstly these are original thoughts and secondly they are developed straight from the heart. The prelude to these lines is gotta be something deeper that the person who framed it had to go through in his/ her life.
Sometimes it’s also spontaneous feelings translated into words just for fun. The line you see in the headline of this blog is something that caught my attention while I was surfing through the pictures of a friend who recently went off to Germany.
This was a sprayed graffiti on what looked like a garbage can placed on the backside of a cathedral. According to me this a unique sentence that intends to draw attention of the non-believers popularly known as the atheist?
In other words, what I’m seeing here is the power of language. By power I don’t mean that all atheists would start praying but I can’t get over the fun element that it conveys.
It’s amazing how we humans can play with words. We can, rhyme them using all kinds of figures of speech which get shaped as poems, we use complicated words twist our thoughts and narrate stories or create articles for people to read. This is one genius conundrum that we won’t be able to solve. I don’t think any scientist can reach that part of the human brain which is able to secrete such creative expertise.
Finally all I can say is that wordplay is one talent humans can certainly beat any other species at.
Hail Humans!!!
PS: Just when I was writing this blog, a friend of my mine realized that the graffiti line could be inspired from the 90s song “Free your mind and the rest will follow…” by a band called En Vogue.
