If TRANSLATION seeks success, is "blunts" the memory of an original text? What is lost in the use of language? As new technologies and its companion language come in2 r lives, will The Truth b lost 4ever? WAS THAT THE PLAN?

From: amici

As you know Internet changed the world in a few years. No more distances for communication, no time, like a brain everyone connected to another talking sending and receiving informations; the world is a big brain now.
The first Internet revolution was to make the world without physical limits. the next one is language and it will make the world really universal.translation doesn't kill words it just make them comprehensive for everybody.

In translation you must understand the cultures to express a idea in a different language like for example expressions you say 'thank you - you're wellcome' a word translation in french is 'merci - tu es le bienvenu' and it's not the same as the correct translation. 'you're welcome' in french is 'de rien'.

Some people can spend a lifetime without knowing all the sublety of a language. And is it important for me that we all can reach what we are looking for and language doesn't have to be a frontier.
No translation will never kill the truth but will make it universal.
For the moment the unique universal language as you know is love.

Does translation really seek success or is it merely self-serving? All 2 often translation gives way 2 personal nterpretation, which loses sight of original ntent. Consider the Bible...A book whose subject is God/Love has come 2 b (ab)used by many 2 dfend practices rooted in h8,such as homophobia, racism, oppression of women and slavery. Somethingis lost in the translation. And the fact that something is lost means everything is lost. The message is uni-versal...1ce it starts b ing dissected, it dies. And in the silence that follows, all hope is reborn.

Success is comprehension of the translation.Nothing is lost in the use of language, except emotion.New technologies bring u 2gether closer and faster, but without emotion.The Truth is in yourself and God.No 1 person can take that from u.

The Plan can b altered by your response.


From: micmarc

I blieve that language evolves thru time, just like technology. However, the Truth will never b lost as long as the universe-all language of Love is spoken, practiced, and given.


From: sparkss

i dont think the truth will be lost forever! I believe that with the new technology it enables us to searth out the truth easier and faster than before...language will be improved, because of teh speed that we are forced to think at, one would have to come up with an accurate answer more quickly than before. i think the technology is a good thing... how do you think i
found L4OA?
Im not so sure there was a plan for this. at least not in human minds.

As language has 4ever and will 4ever change the 1 thing that has 2 stay true n our minds is the original. We musr then pass The Truth down 2 our children and they pass it down 2 there children and the Truth will then once more prevail over the temprary world around us.


From: protean

Beyond the CONcept that we wrap the experience of our lives in is a truth 2 PROfound 2 b captured.
If the plan is 4 the dissolution of the CONcepts of TRUTH then the PROgeny will speak with no
words and love without fear of misunderstanding.

To translate is to seek to grasp yet another object by giving it subject. The TRUTH has no object or subject.
The TRUTH has no suffix or prefix. Say the word TRUTH until the word and even the sounds become meaningless.
What is left is not 2 b sought, but 2 b found.

From: RTankerson

If we were to dissect every word that we use everyday in every sentence, and peel away the numerous layers of meanings (both connotative and denotative) until arrival at the original meaning(s) of these words,I believe we would be dumbfounded. language in an ever-changing entity, and as people evolve the words we use to express our thoughts and feelings metamorphose into new words with altered meanings. most of us have been taught that the english language derives from latin and greek, and some of us understand that latin and greek came from older, more complex languages that have been lost over the centuries.

We further understand that technology is both a blessing and a curse; new developments can improve our way of life and simultaneously destroy humanity if misused. The truth has been lost and rediscovered countless times, because there has always been a contingent of those who actively seek it and those who vehemently reject it. was that the plan? i think only God knows for sure. our job in the time we have on earth is to procure, protect, preserve, and perpetuate the truth in spite of the myriad changes we experience day by day. the truth is constant.


From: esat (ESA)

The Truth surronds us. It stands before us and behind us, it is manifest on all sides. It infuses and suffuses us all (The One) at every moment throughout time eternal. Texts are superfluous to the experience of the Truth; they exist for those of us who have become dazzled and enchanted by the illusion, to guide us back into the rememberance of the Ultimate Prefection. The languages and texts may change and evolve, but the Truth can never be lost. As long as anything exists, the Truth exists.


From: exodus

If truth is intended translation will not change anything. Truth is truth no matter how you convey it.

Love transcends all boundaries.


From: afortune

I don't think that anything is lost in the use of language. Language conveys thought, ideas, and points of view. That will always be a realty. Sometimes truth can be lost in the translation and interpretation of language, but as long as one has the knowlege and proper guidance, the truth can be found. I strongly hope that the plan was not to lose the truth. I do not think that is possible. Truth, like beauty, is in the eye of the beholder for some. For others, the truth is as plain as day.
