What is In A Word: Part 26

Newspeak:

Hamlets “To Be or Not To Be”

Person or unperson. Query.
Unbellyfeel Ingsoc, oldthink, ownthink,
(PLUSUNGOOD THOUGHTCRIME. PENALTY: UNLIFE)
Or Ingsoc foolthink doubleplusungood
Own unlife bellyfeel, make self unlifer,
Unperson, unofficial. (PENALTY: JOYCAMP)
Only unwake: become unlifer. (FOOLTHINK)
Unwake, and thusby unperform our Ingsoc duty
(GOODWISE NOTE: BIG BROTHER IS WATCHING YOU)
Seems goodthink (DOUBLEPLUSUNGOOD THOUGHTCRIME).
Unwake: become unlifer.
Unwake — ungoodwise dream (PLUS-CERTAINFUL
SELF-BRINGED RESULT) –
Yes, there is the unsmoothness –
Correctful treatment in the Miniluv,
Post fail-maked self unlifer with a cord,
Is allsuch stopful — yes, there is the reason
We still goodwise perform our Ingsoc duty
Until we’re vaporized, although (CRIMETHINK)
Unbellyfeeling Ingsoc and Big Brother,
The Junior Anti-Sex League, rationed goods,
Sternness of Inner Party and its just
And ungood “watch and query” note on us,
We seemcould oldthink “free” perhaps become
With a bigneedle. (FOOLTHINK) Who would work,
Prolewise and sweatful, doubleplusunfresh,
For Ingsoc if he bellyfeeled to know
Correctful treatment in the Miniluv
That joyful place from which so few return,
And those how bigwise changed? Plusgooderwise
We live goodthinkful til some Spy reports us,
For IGNORANCE is STRENGTH, FREEDOM is SLAVERY,
And WAR (against the Party) brings NO PEACE
Inside the Miniluv till we become
Unpersons (now OFFICIAL). But unhard!
The clingful and face-crimewise-good-to-see
Ophelia! Joysexful girl, forget
My many faults in your Two Minutes Hate!

Ponderingthoughts..

About

Just what exactly is Ponderingthoughts all about. In a nutshell it is about...life.

Contradictions (through words) are the basis of much of our thought process, and what drives me at many times to continue my quest to see, read, hear and learn as much as I can about this speciies that calls itself human. I love the study of the use of words and how they connect to thought.

It often amazes me how much two opposite sides are alike (in terms of what they ultimately seek).... it is the journey to get there that causes the conflicts/misunderstandings and contradictions.

I say what I mean, think what I say... and understand it is all self-important bullsh@t at the same time. Did I say bullsh@t?! I meant, MY truths... and being I am a human they may often seem like a contradiction.

I invite people to comment, and join the conversation, for my purpose here is also to hear from all of you, and to have others hear you as well. One thing I do ask is if when commenting you could refrain from using profanity. Of course I use it in my life, but dropping the F bomb to prove ones point seems pointless in a real conversation. Respect and thanks.

All thought derives from somewhere (I believe) it is rare anymore that we have a TOTALLY new thought (comments?), so I never actually think "wow, my thoughts are so new, so individual" They are... thoughts. Mashes of all I see, hear, read, study and experience.... They are all of you.

My purpose for this blog is to share my thoughts (based on all things I see, hear, read, do and so forth), and to also post ideas from others greater than me in their thinking (to which I would give the credit)

To those whom may read my randomness, I thank you... you honor me. Thought I probably will not reply to comments posted about what I post, I highly encourage all to add their own ideas to whatever I may post. That in itself is a main purpose of this blog... to keep the conversation going. Like-mindedness is not necessary (for me) to engage in thought and sharing and I always enjoy reading the thoughts of others... agreement or not.
