1:1
God created Man on the sixth day to rule over the animals and creatures He created. Man had
the advantage to do so, as we were given the gift of speech. As time goes by, our intelligence
progressed as well, and soon, we realized that the capacity of the mind was not enough to
store all the information needed. Hence we started to pen down our thoughts by making
marks in a form of pictures and complicated symbols.
Humans continued to progress in life and we soon realized that we needed more than what
was available around us to survive, be it food, or materials to keep warm. This was when
people from different regions started to barter trade with each other. In order for each party to
honour their side of the trade, we came up with written agreements to prevent any party from
backing out through the deal. More and more new symbols everyday were drawn. It became
difficult to keep up with the new additions. Hence, alphabet systems were created from
different regions of the globe. |
