   No surprise there, as words literally (ha) are theories.   
      
   Tinkering with them can also serve as quality   
   procrastination from action/practice.   
      
   And have you ever noticed that those who talk the most   
   do the least, e.g politicians, journalists, preachers.   
      
   Someone once allegedly said something (lol) about   
   protesting too much. Words are the building blocks   
   of said protesting.   
      
   Perhaps the only decent use of words is using them to   
   help others see their uselessness for not really being   
   what they're said (ha) - aka cracked up - to be?

   Announcing a bowing out is a huge mistake, being yet   
   another exercise in words futility. Best to just do it:   
   aka act/practice what one so desperately wants to avoid   
   with the help of procrastinatory words....   
      
   As always, there's nothing wrong with words themselves;   
   rather, being attached to them as though something they   
   aren't.
