Everything that has ever been on television remains alive forever, out there for anyone to tune in. The broadcasts never go away. From a Jewish point of view, it's the same for every word we've ever spoken. The utterances of our mouths linger, even after we are long gone. Indeed, God in our bible, doesn't physically make the world, God speaks it into being.
Words make reality.
And they don't go away. You might think of your mouth as a kind of transmitter, a machine of throat, palette, and, above all, a tongue, making immortal noise.

When he returned, the rabbi instructed him to take it outside, climb the hill and tear it open in the wind.
