various musings and wonderments

I just find it immensely interesting that as human beings we find it easier to express ourselves with 26 characters rather than use what I believe God has given us, to express ourselves. Shouldn't we be looking into more advanced things? being the 21st Century of technology, but yet, we still come back to this, to symbols, to standardised words that sometimes we can use majestically and beautifully, and yet at other times we can get tongue tied (far too many times this happens). and have verbal diarrhoea (yes, I know how to spell it now ;)
WE cannot even create new words, if we did in things such as essays, we would be marked down. What is therefore the point of expressing ourselves in words that someone has inevitably used before? These words, sentances, phrases, poems become second hand, there is nothing new under the sun.
Yet putting on an old pair of shoes, or talking with an old friend who truly knows you, is an invaluable thing (the latter obviously more important than the former!) and i'm not saying that it's like a second hand item, but maybe these symbols which we are so familiar with, become ingrained into our ways of thinking, as inevitably they will, and we become so accustomed to the words and phrases we know, that we stay in these well formed walls, and never venture outside them, with new advances in English, new boldness, new passion... we will never tire of speaking, writing, reading, singing, reading poetry or plays.
