What is in a grunt? Well, a lot, emotion, direction, intent. Theforce and volume along with body language and can say much. In fact,communication without safe words forces us to "listen" to all theother ingredients. With inflection, volume, and tempo there is farmore emotion in a grunt then any neuter word on a page. The emotionalgutteral thrust is primordial, it touches the core of our emotionalselves. Of course, to write out a grunt does not tell the reader much, ifanything. The primordial characteristics are ephemerial, unable toreach immortality in the written word. All the energy and power ofemotion has no place in memory, only pale reflections. Humanity created the written word and with it shared ideas and gavethem longevity. For these words to have any communicable abilitystandards had to be set. Throughout the development of literaturegreat works have been composed that are said to stir the senses androuse men's hearts. Where does such an effect originate? Is there anaphrodisiac in the ink? An arousal in the procession of letters? No,there is the passing of the memes of writing and their enrichmentforming memecomplexes. Adding these complexes together and creatingepic works. What puts the epic in epic works is programmed readersvia years of memecomplex edification. A new born child can be made to cry or to smile based on themovements of body and volume of voice. The emotional baggage of thespoken word is instinctive, it is physical and it truly projects theinner emotion. The emotional stimulus of the written word is theproduct of mental conditioning.
