What has jargonisation done?

The corporatisation, sterilisation, jargonisation and homogeneity of words used in both speech and written communication…stop…just read that again and look at the words what do they say to you? There is no emotion or humanity in those words.

We use words like actionable, leverage, diversity, disconnected, the long tail, skillage, siloed, uplevel, work-force reduction, right-sizing and the list of these cold and sterile words could fill a book.

We have removed love, kindness, understanding, compassion and humanness from how we now communicate. We are afraid of plain, warm and understandable speaking.

We use words that remove feeling, they are bland, overcomplicated and devoid of a human touch that allows the recipient to feel seen and to feel any warmth towards another soul.

We have removed love from our lives and replaced it with coldness.

Floating by

Today I just got up and decided to go and sit by the sea, to be in the cold wind, to sit in the winter sun and to just watch the world go by…to be in the moment and at peace.

My soul and body were telling me for a while to take a break, to step away from the ‘package’ aka the mind and all its rambling repetitive daily thought patterns. But like most, I ignored it.

I feel completely re-energised from just being in nature and for feeling the cold elements. From just sitting and observing the moment, it reminded me that passing clouds and passing people are like thoughts they float by and that’s it. Everything passes unless we choose to cling on and attach things to it. Then through choice, we continue to suffer through our attachments.

Let life be, let it float by and go with it.
