The Would of Coulds
Believe in what is known or seen not heard.
Our imaginations play a very vital role in our lives, creativity being one of them. Lets keep that aside. We rely on our imaginations to create a picture of ''what could be'' or ''what would be''. Similar sounding phrases that are worlds apart. The 'would(s)' and ''could(s)'' are interchangeable if you are daring enough. ''What could happen if I have another drink, knowing I have securely to drop my girlfriend home before 11 pm?'' Is the thought that would go through any reasonable being's head. On the other hand, ''What would possibly happen if I had another drink, with a few of my old buddies knowing there is a designated driver there?''. To be able to imagine the right kind of thoughts at the right time is something i learned you pick up as you mature through life.
'Would you dive into the darkness with me''? ''Could you dive into the darkness with me?''
''Would you walk across this raging river?'' ''Could you walk across this raging river?''
''Would you hear the silent cries?'' ''Could you hear the silent cries?''
Ask yourselves, do write back
Upon literal deconstruction which I would in different circumstances avoid, could: is there a possibility...? Would: the question of will.
I for one find the difference between the two terms worlds apart, yes, in your own words. I believe that if you say yes to all those in the former and sometimes no to the latter, you'd find your light somewhere lurking around the corner.
Would I choose darkness? No.. Could I choose the light? Let's find out.
