Including the title's last entry (sorcery) might surprise some, but it has an interesting truth attached to it. The conscious words that are spoken and heard will eventually affect your inner thoughts and behavior. That is why it shares the same word which is 'spell'. One of its meanings is a collection of letters that makes a word and the other is an act of sorcery by casting a 'spell' towards someone.
This has some parallel to today's life, with the device that has become a part of the human organ. A minute without it one can feel handicapped. Projecting out of the device is a constant stream of words. Which unconsciously influences the readers and listeners in the long run.
Listen to how the social media influencers talk. And see how your younglings speak and behave. Terpaling Bosskur. Read what kind of news the mainstream media broadcasts. See who is being given the focus by them and who is being demonized.
You are what you read....and say and write.
Eventually, words are packed into books and they shape the education system. You reap what you sow. We are finally seeing what kind of fruit the education system of the last 30 years is bearing with that and lowering of the passing grades. Not to mention sticking to the quota system instead of shifting to a merit system (even after the change of PM, he came forth from the same political party anyway)
Finally, we are proud to be in the illusion of being the first and the highest in this 'cocoon'. As the saying goes, frogs under the coconut shell. Perhaps a Princess will need to kiss it. Eh, that is sorcery! Haram!
Oh. This is just about words and their power. We haven't yet talked about images and those in power, controlling what you see. Especially in the mainstream local cine....system failure
So the next time you listen to your favorite influencer or politician making their speech, listen critically. Do not fall under their 'spell'.
