Logophobia

Infection has evolved with strangely ambivalent connotations. The very word infection is indicative of a powerful catalyst that has wrought change in something else, and yet still we subscribe to that foolish notion of the cliche. Certainly there is a place for hesitancy when it comes to the re-iterating of an old philosophy, but why is infectiousness so taboo? Perhaps we miss the point of an infection; infections aren't about hatred or antagonism, they are about change and survival.

Infections are contagious as well. The real danger lies in this ability to spread quickly, to maneuver from psyche to psyche spreading courage, fear, lies, hope, and malcontent. There is but one cure for this contagion. Were it possible I would have delayed this unveiling of my perception of infection so as to shield you all from my inevitable conclusion: the cure is an objective mindset. Influence is held over you by others undeserving of their power, but you can limit that influence until it has been marginalized by your own independence.

Now that we know we can control an infection with the antibody of our conscious mind, we can also take a step back and observe the true meaning of infective behaviors. Remember, the key to preventing your own infection is held in the mind, not in the actions that you take. Actions may always be misconstrued, twisted, and maligned, but internalizing your thoughts will not fail.

Do not be upset if someone says negatively that you dug your own grave while you were still healthy enough to do it yourself. After all, they will die grave-less.
