EMOTICONS EVERYWHERE
EMOTIONS EVERYWHERE
"When you are humming, the devil won't know what you're saying." This black church truism sums up the benefit of my emoticons' use.
The same can be said about any emoticon display . "Smiling faces sometimes they don't tell the truth." Emotions are like humming.
Makes no difference either way, ultimately, what is precisely meant. Each observer may draw its own conclusion. This works well for me. It is quick; intuitive; benign; easy.
Hieroglyphics are emoticons, being glyphs with extrinsic and/or intrinsic meaning, depending on one's deciphering acuity. So too are holy scriptures, geometric-algebraic equations, animal tracking signs in the wild or a cave dwellers' lost art.
