Act

Goethe, Johann Wolfgang von wrote:

In the beginning there was the action.

Word comes after to represent the act.
To act means to interact.
Existence is a state of dynamic interactivity - what the ancient-Greeks called "ΕΝΕΡΓΕΙΑ".
Process is another word referring to the same activity.
What exists is active and nothing more than that.
Its activity is its essence, its nature.
human activity - behaviour - has the added component of reaction to action, including that of deceit.

We may use any word - established by social/cultural convections - to refer to an act we all can witness, and this choice of words/symbol has no effect on the act, but only on the one using the word, for he is communicating not only his perception of the act but also his reaction to it.

Postmodernism uses language to conceal or dismiss the act - seed doubt in the mind concerning its own perceptions so as to manipulate and exploit.
When words are returned to their origins in acts most of modern and postmodern philosophy is exposed as what it has always been - a human coping mechanism using self-knowledge - including self-deciet - to reject and forget the act.

Body - as act - cannot lie it can only be trained, concealed, dismissed, disowned.
The mind - reaction - can lie, and self-decive, using words referring to other words without ever during to refer to deeds.
And so morality, and free-will, can be perceived as actions, while words are used to forget and bury them.

The act imposes limits to the mind and tis use of words.
What does it matter what words are used if they refer to the same act?
What does your language, your upbringing, your motives matter then?
Can you escape actions and their consequences with words?

And if you render all words void of meaning have you evaded the act and its consequences?
And if you use pretty words, carefully arranged in beautiful syntax, melodious, rhyming, eloquent... and you manage to seduce the minds of those without this talent, or those taken over by the magical power of words upon their psyche, what of it?
Your political agenda....how long before it dissipates or is swept away by a world that speaks no other language but that of actions?
True, with words one can rally men to act, but then....how long before the spell evaporates and they realize they've been intoxicated by a linguistic brew, a semiotic spell?
