Kakera #002: The Meaning Of English

...thought i could finally relax after that last assignment, but alas, I have more writing to do. Yay.

English. The heaviest, yet most important language in the world. Well, after Bahasa, that is.  What more can I say? It's expressive, is internationally accepted by fellows around the world, and it sounds cool. Hate the tenses, grammar, and whatnot though. But anyway, English is definitely the creme de la creme of the languages.

..Wha? Do I like English? 'Course I do. Even though English is definitely far more restrictive than Bahasa, sometimes the only way for me hit the point when talking is by wielding English. Even all those rules and stuff on how to speak English don't make English a lame language. Its nature as an universal language indirectly binds every single human living on earth together, under a single banner: English. Don't believe me? Try speaking Javanese to a foreigner. The result would be quite interesting.

On a different note, English is as useful as it is important in our daily life, especially later on, in the future. Trust me, you won't find people using Tagalog as a primary language in the future. Nope, they'll be using English, mind you.So you see, in order for us to be able to compete and survive in later eras, a good mastery of English is a necessary trait. It should also be noted that as western countries play a major part on the development and advancement of the Information, Communication and Technology field, English will undoubtedly be a necessary, if not, a mandatory language for anyone to master. Yep. Definitely important.

Well that's it. For me English is undoubtedly useful and important, be it for socializing or to secure a winning spot on the humanity's battle for survival later on. To ignorantly wave mastery of English as a trivial matter is foolish. I'm going now.


You, who seek wisdom, seek out English in this solemn hour, the one which shall be your salvation from the defiling blight that is the world. To not indulge in English is a ravaging emptiness, knowledge of it is all.
You, generation of the new world, this single language is your sword, your lone weapon against tyrants of the future era. May you unbind the rules and restrictions, and should you succeed, will you be able stand on this world with your head high.

Learn it. Speak it. Wield it.
