Pictures & Words

Indeed we may not remember very well after certain incidents take place, for a picture and words might do a better job in recording our feelings and situations than our memory does. However, as time goes by, not many exist in their original forms, not the corpses of once living animals or beings, not the water in our surroundings, not the technology we now living with nor the world we are living in, our definitions of words, our circles of friends and bonding, our thoughts and actions and the list goes on; similarly, it happens to the photographs and words being saved at one place, also, our memories. Though it is to say that pictures do not lie, for they capture that particular moment, nevertheless, a different story may be told if the photograph is taken from a different angle; words on the other hand are sometimes being used to decorate sentences, beautifying one situation, exaggerating certain feelings, however, there are times where we overuse them, hence lying to ourselves and the others instead. Infinite battle between two opposite elements, sayings and thoughts; when one hypothesis is raised, another will go against it someday, somehow; personally, pictures and words are nowhere better than our memories, for they would be nothing if we don’t remember anything, anything at all.
