Words can heal; words can
harm. One of the greatest gifts that God has given us is the gift of words. It
is not something we're born with, but it is something that defines us as human
beings. We learn language throughout our lives, and never stop, because we are
born with the power of speech. If one is not able to speak, then one can use
words in writing, which is just as powerful. But what are words after all? Can
you imagine our lives without them? Just think about it for a second and let us
explore the significance of words.

Don't
mix bad
words with
your bad
mood. You'll
have many
opportunities
to change a
mood, but
you'll never
get the
opportunity
to replace
the words
you spoke. |
Words are expression of
emotions; they have a power we might not even be aware of. The first word spoken
by a human being brings joy, pride, and leaves an impact forever. The lack of it
brings worry.
Words come in more than
6,000 different languages, spoken in every corner of the world. There is no
common language that unites us all, but we all speak words. And nothing carries
more meaning than words. They are spoken by both commoners and rulers; both
children and adults; both men and women.
Words have to be
well-chosen because the effect they can leave is indescribable and
unforgettable. They build, they break, they unite, they teach, they control and
they affect. They can radiate beauty; they are lyrics of inspiring pieces of
music; they form acts of outstanding pieces of literature; they make books and
they inspire and change us.

A
pure mind makes for pure words. It is said that speech may exalt someone
to kingship or send him to the gallows. I should never let myself
indulge in false, bitter and vicious speech. My words should reflect my
true inner nature that of purity and peace. Words once spoken can never
be recalled.-Unknown |
Words are memories; they
are writable, portable, and transmittable and can be stored; they can send
chills down our spine; they can reduce us to tears. Nothing brings nostalgia
better than with words. Words are decisions; they can express our wants, needs,
dreams, and burdens. They divide, hurt, console and persuade. They are window to
our feelings.
Words are singularly the
most powerful force available to humanity. We can choose to use this force
constructively with words of encouragement, or destructively using words of
despair. Words have energy and power with the ability to help, to heal, to
hinder, to hurt, to harm, to humiliate or show humility; to share, encourage,
inspire, motivate or to blow our own horn or sing our own praises to satisfy our
ego. Let us be careful with what we say; a word once uttered can never be
recalled.

Words
can never
fully say
what we want
them to say,
for they
fumble,
stammer, and
break the
best
porcelain.
The best one
can hope for
is to find
along the
way someone
to share the
path,
content to
walk in
silence, for
the heart
communes
best when it
does not try
to speak.-Margaret
