RE: Is 'Propaganda' The Most Corrupted And Twisted Word Ever? A Look At Edward Bernays & The History Of Mass Hypnosis
Yes. The language of words creates so many misunderstandings. But that is the world we are living in these days: 'I judge you by your words, not your deeds'.
Words are just the tip of the iceberg, but the largest part of the construct lies beneath the word, our Intention. Too often people we interprete others' words according to our very own personal meaning we give these words, to the extend that we victimize our entire emotional well-being to a superficial word used by someone, without seeing that it is OUR OWN emotional quagmire which causes our misery.
But what a great response that you looked up the actual original definition of the word "propaganda" after having been 'pillorized' wit his word by another user. The perfect way to direct rather negative energy into a creative endeavor! :)
