JUST A WORD

Words are created and changed through our evolution of our species but even though the power of words can highlight by encapsulating a meaning, without people grabbing hold of the new word and adding it to their everyday vocabulary it will eventually be discarded into the already ever growing not used pile of useless words. Words can sometimes transform from generation to generation and when a word is created to represent a specific meaning the next generation modifys the word and the new meaning takes the podium. So how language can transforms through evolution, so can it be lost in translation when attempting to use it in another language which is also part of the reason that what we see as a significant word with a significant meaning is still just a word. As Shakespeare said "A rose by any other name would smell as sweet" words are labels to describe something, but without labels that encapsulate meaning we are left with only the true essence which is the real reason to appreciate things as they are because we are so more than just names and labels.
