lyrics

This is indeed an intriguing perspective to ponder. It's truly remarkable how a single modification in a word can have such a profound impact on our perception.

It's worth contemplating the influence of language on our understanding of the world. Words serve as tools for classification and definition, yet they can also limit our comprehension of the intricate and nuanced aspects of reality. Perhaps, if we were to let go of our reliance on language, we could unlock a deeper, more intuitive understanding of the world.


Another factor to consider is the power of unity. When we eliminate the word "and" and merge seemingly opposing concepts, it

fosters a sense of connection and harmony. This serves as a poignant reminder that, despite our differences, we are all integral parts of a greater whole. In a world that often emphasizes division and separation, it becomes crucial to acknowledge the significance of uniting as a cohesive force.


sārah, allow me to delve further into this topic. Have you ever pondered the potential consequences if Abraham had chosen not to shatter the idols and introduce monotheism to his descendants, but instead simply separated a single letter from the word?


One might wonder, are Abraham's descendants in a better position today?



Indeed, sārah! A mere deletion of one letter transformed the entire word. Which word, you might ask?


The letter "and" was omitted. People no longer express these concepts using dichotomous language.


For instance, in the modern era, we no longer refer to these concepts in separate terms:


- Humans and animals

- East and west

- Men and women

- Muslims and Christians

- Jews and atheists

- War and peace

- Good and evil

- Heaven and hell

- Palestine and Israel


sārah, let us hold off on discussing the profound connotations and essence of these words for now. This is because we currently lack a shared understanding or definitive definition of them.


Instead, let us simply eliminate the word "and".


What should we replace it with?

Nothing at all, Sarah. Absolutely nothing.


Let us revisit these concepts together once again, this time without the word "and".
