musings 197



It is strange that we get carried away by good usages and a flowery style in writing..
For a moment, we have to remember that the best lessons, best poetry, best literature, were presented in great style.
However, the messages for destruction, messages inciting hatred and mutual annihilation, messages causing distress to mind and spirit, all are written in fine style too-- using excellent command over language and vocabulary..
Language is something like a chalice or container..
A beautiful container can hold rejuvenating potions or deadly poisons..
The content alone counts.
We should not be overly influenced by the attractiveness of the container..
But sadly we are..
