Deconstructing

It was a very hectic and busy week for me. sorry for the absence. I know I need to tie you guys over. I've been writing and writing and writing.

GULLIBLE. How many times do you think about this word?
Internet. Blogs. Opinions. Judgement. Everyone is entitled to an opinion. With the social media rampage ongoing, we hear everyone's' opinion whether we like it or not.

Deconstruction. How often do we do this?

The Miriam Webster dictionary defines deconstruction as the analytic examination of something (as a theory) often in order to reveal its inadequacy.

This brings the about the questions, why Deconstruct?

Some will answer; to find truth, to find the basis, to find a fault, others, to build a theory.

Literally, what would deconstruction mean?

It means breaking the pieces that hold a substance together. Subjects relevant to deconstruction include the philosophy of meaning.

Indeed some have called deconstruction an irrational process, calling it subjective. Subjective as it may be, deconstruction throws light on a subject and brings about appreciation and understanding.

Even bible speaks of the importance of understanding, Hosea 4:6, my people perish because of lack of knowledge.”

In ancient African culture, an artwork, usually created on a broken piece of wood, preferably a calabash is referred to as an “edu” which means a message.

There are persons, skilled in the interpration of this art. Lives have been saved, wars have been averted, mysteries have been solved due to this method of deconstruction.

Deconstruction, as subjective as it may be, brings a thorough appreciation of work and abilities. To every work of the hand is a purpose, every work of art has a beginning, middle and an end. It is a story of the artist, of the world, or of a third person. History will be lost without deconstruction, our past will remain, mistakes will remain hidden and we as humans will trip on the same path many times. Deconstruction may have high end disapprovals, but it also holds a great importance to the history and understanding of mankind
