The Power of The word  

Words are so strong that you don’t need to use very many to induce profound happiness or deep sadness in someone. 

The power of hurtful words

Words are so strong that you don’t need to use very many to induce profound happiness or deep sadness in someone. All you have to do is say something that validates a negative emotion or attacks the other person’s weakest points.

We all know toxic, manipulative people who are able to use words to get what they want from us, even if we don’t want them to. We’ve all said things full of anger, resentment, pain, rejection, and sadness.

Whether we like it or not, words are the most common method of communication that humans use. And they involve a type of exchange that leaves a mark on us. 

The power of loving words

Words are not only powerful when they aim to hurt. They also serve to describe feelings like pleasure, kindness, love, and gratefulness.

In fact, we’ve used some of the most beautiful words in the world to talk about things we like, such as beauty, friendship, solidarity, or the many charming things that surround us.

 What would love be without words? Is there anything more beautiful than telling the person you love how you feel about them and how much they mean to you?

It’s clear that words are enormously powerful when talking about everything that’s good and beautiful in life, and that’s one of the best ways they can be used. 

The power of deceitful words

Finally, I’d like to address the power of words in their huge capacity to transmit lies, capture the attention of the listener and make them believe something that’s not actually true.

Even though no one has explicitly told us, we’re all aware that lies have a much more faithful accomplice in written or spoken language than in sign language, for example.

“I have hated words and I have loved them, and I hope I have made them right.”
