The seller, as well as the buyer, should be aware and beware! Beware of the assumptions that: Word meanings are independent of their contexts. Word meanings are defined by their contexts. Words above on a line all mean almost the same thing. The allusions of a word are relatively unimportant. Private associations with a word are unimportant. Strings of words can contain certain truths. ABSOLUTE TRUTH can be contained by some words. Words cannot point toward complementary truths. Partial truths cannot be complementary/real. Some words should be worshipped/revered. Some commandments should be worshipped/revered. Some book should be worshipped/revered. Words can define and/or contain ideal-forms. All good commandments come in the forms of words. Words can be trusted to convey all helpful truths. Printed words are most worthy of trust and reverence. All revelations can be contained within words. God works only through HIS words, nothing else. (c) 2004 by Paul A. Smith in "Search for Honesty and Integrity" (On Being Yourself Whole and Healthy) ==========================================================
