We Build This City Of Words!

February 11th, 2010 | No Comments | Posted in Novelty Cufflinks

CP 3056 1 We Build This City Of Words!Much attention is given to writing as if it’s the noblest of careers or the most imposing of gestures. Writers, one poet said, are the legislators of the world. With such enunciation, almost every youth in school are dreaming to be writers, just like how writers now once dreamt of being one when they were in still in school. Even if that school is the school made of bricks or the school made of words to be read, it didn’t matter as long as learning is the main subject.

 

And writing isn’t just an act, aside from giving something that can be a source of knowledge for the reader, writing is also an act of learning how to express what to express. Just like wedding cufflinks, writing prepares the spirit. The act of writing itself convinces the writer to believe in what he writes, thereby teaching him confidence and fidelity.

 

Also, writing is like cracked pepper cufflinks, it is abstract the first time you hear it. You can’t picture it right away. Sure you think you can visualize a person with a pen, writing on paper, or on the walls of a public bathroom, or in a calling card, or in a ruined television set. But of course, you would also agree that the essence of writing isn’t just about stroking one’s pen on paper. Writing would have to make sense, even if it doesn’t at first glance.

 

This is why writing is also like Red Building Block Cufflinks. For one to get the point, one would have to write. Or if one can’t he would have to build. To come face to face with the act of constructing something, either an idea, or a table or something just to keep someone busy would already instill to someone the necessity of proposing something, confidently and with much conviction, just like putting building blocks upon each other, proposing how high it should stand. Just like wearing cufflinks, proposing how much trust one can give to one’s self.

Primitive Beliefs We Still Hold On To Even Up To This Day

CP 3057 1 Primitive Beliefs We Still Hold On To Even Up To This DayIn every century in any country, beliefs are developed as societies develop its history. History, here acts as one society’s collective memory. Some of these beliefs are blatantly serious, even bloody, that it has been welded in the minds of people as not only customary but also necessary to the survival of mankind. Among the beliefs belonging to this classification are beliefs about familial relationships, work ethics, law and punishment, religion, and the preservation of tradition.

 

But there are also beliefs that, although the roots of it are traceable to serious beliefs, are so wacky one would abandon beliefs belonging to the other classification. Among them are beliefs in conducting weddings. In one country in Asia, there’s this belief that before one wed, he or she has to crack whole peppercorns by kneeling on it or by pounding it using the knees and the elbows. People say that this symbolizes the would-be separation of the groom and the bride from their parents and also assuming to their task of being parents also in the near future. This belief is so outrageous that when taken seriously and practiced it wouldn’t be impossible if the wedding gets postponed!

 

Another ridiculous belief is from Latin America. This endorses bridesmaids to chew Salty Fries while wedding vows are being held. There isn’t any explanation behind the custom that would make sense!

 

But, at the beginning of the consumer age, another custom has replaced these beliefs. Compared from before when one has to practice what one believes in, today, dedication on one’s belief are more importantly showcased. From cracking pepper to chewing salty fries, today cracked pepper cufflinks and Salty Fries Cufflinks were designed to uphold faith on those beliefs. There are also a bunch of wedding cufflinks that holds dear primitive beliefs from societies of every region in the world.
