Words

Behold, the power of words!

Just letters, tossed together, strung along with others to create a point. What you do with this miscellaneous hodge podge of characters is your choice.

Words can evoke passion, both positive and negative. They can stir us to riot or to break down in tears. They can humble us and even nearly cripple us. They can stop us in our tracks or cause us to joyfully leap toward the heavens. They can soothe us, sedate us, enrage us, lure us, hurt us. They can bring tremendous joys and overwhelming sadness. Words can lift us up or truly deny us anything.

Politicians use words to snare and promise us. Teachers use words to encourage and guide us. Spouses use words to captivate and comfort us. Mean people use words to harm and hurt us. What do you do with your words?

Words are truly just mere letters, tossed together; but they carry with them the weight of the world. Be careful how you use your words and make sure they are not wielded as weapons, but rather as steps to something better.
