I’ve always struggled with words. Maybe I simply worry too much about what to say. Or maybe its all the times I’ve spoken before I thought about what I was saying.
Words … are powerful.
Words can put people to sleep, no matter how much caffeine you’ve had. Just ask any student. Words can also wake you up. Especially your name. When uttered by the teacher. You know the one that just put you to sleep.
Words allow us to communicate. They can build people up. And they can tear people down.
Words can entertain us. Make us laugh. Cry. Think.
Words can be devastating when their meaning is taken wrong. Words can explain misunderstandings.
Words can be full. Words can be hollow.
It has been said that “The Pen is Mightier Than the Sword”
Do you believe this to be true? Do we act as we say?
Do our actions empower our words? Or do our words move us to act?
Words spoke the world into existence.
Words are powerful.
These are some of the thoughts I’ve had when I contemplate what to write here.
