Narrating the World- Wirzba

Wirzba states that "the way we name and narrate the world determines how we are going to live within it". I agree with this. In my communications class we went over phonetics and learned that words with a general 'harsh' sound relate to negative, pointy, and hard words. 'Triangle' is a harsh/strong sounding word and it relates well to what we have named a triangle. Three harsh points and three straight lines. Also, if we narrate something has being a positive experience before it happens, we are more likely to enjoy it. Conversely, if we think if something as being bad before it does happen, we are less likely to enjoy it when the time comes.
