Words And Their Power

Words are powerful. Either in verbal /written state they make an indelible impression on our mind evoking us to reflect or respond. Words can break or build the bonds between us. They help in cementing a bond for lifelong tenure. As tools of communication words help us to connect with the outer world

Our family, friends, relatives, acquaintances and so on. The personal and professional spheres of our lives are interwoven with intricate strands of words we utter, hear, read or write. Although actions speak louder than words yet Words are also an effective expressive medium to convey our thoughts and emotions and carrying on the various shades of relationships. The complexity /simplicity of any relation is governed by the moment and intensity of words exchanged between the two. So intimacy and distance between the two can be gauged by the usage of words conveying affection or displeasure. The power of words can be understood by the fact that one single word at the right or wrong moment can make or mar any relationship.

Use of wrong words or even right words at the wrong moment can break a heart or strike an annihilated blow to the soul. So bitterness of truth coated in sugary words is always considered the right way to make a person aware of the truth though u may be named sly. The pen is considered mightier than the sword because words scribbled by pen can win over hearts and mind of the people voluntarily, whereas a sword can only lay claim to the conquest of the body and that too involuntarily.

Similarly, a poet through his inspiring notes can reach to the inner core of the beings which cannot be penetrated even by strong rays of the sun. Louder the word, weaker is the cause of action is aptly said as use of strong words conveys a frustrating attempt of the being to emphasize him. Whereas more subtle and less the number of words exchanged between the two reflect a higher level of understanding. However, sometimes strong words act as wonder drugs propelling one to undertake challenging work and achieve excellence in fields considered impossible.

Likewise, words work as motivators, tutors, educators, mentors in a positive way and as depressants, deceivers in negative ways. Consoling or praising words have miraculous powers to revive or recharge the bereaved beings towards accomplishment. Strong words get etched on the memory board and keep bouncing back to haunt us from the past for the rest of our lives. Choice of words is critical to building our personalities and relationships. So one should never underestimate the significance of words in daily life and be cautious enough not to break but to mend hearts through the healing touch of words...sunkan

 

very true sindhu,
you know even when we write this english language it could mislead into something we dont intend to, like wise when we speak a statement like why have'nt u written to me i have been waiting for ages for your letter...now add some soft begging voice to this it would sound so pathetic but a rude tone would bring a opposite effect like wise it is our voice also thaty plays an important role, in achieving what we want to...sunkan
