Yep. The word language always makes me think of computer programming.

But then human language also programs us – just like computer language programs computers. And that puts a very different slant on corporate, political and media word usage.

That’s what got me thinking a little more about how the word ‘intent’ is often used…

Very true. Isn’t English a wonderful language?

“Will” is another thing that can be viewed in a number of different ways isn’t it?

Very interesting view on intent, Marcus. I’d never really looked at intent in that context before.

My take on intent tends to be based on the following format:

1. I ask myself if the intent is based on “want” or “need”
2. If the intent is based on “want” I don’t set an intent. Why not? Think of the “careful what you wish for” proverb.
3. If the intent is based on “need” I will ask myself a second question. “Do I have the will to see this intent through to its conclusion?”
Why the 2nd question? Intent(ion)s are all well and good but if one doesn’t have the will to make them a reality then nothing will come of the intent. One gets what one puts into something.

Cheers
