The Power of Words
It is through words that we express ourselves . And it is words that distinguish us from animals . No animal has been gifted with the power of language or words. We use words to express our self, our thoughts and our feelings. They are used in every walk of our lives and therefore the power of words is immense. A man should always use his words in such a manner that he can justify his being a man and not an animal .
Well-chosen words have the power to inform, influence, educate and entertain others. We should be very careful in the choice of our words because a wrong use of words can make us enemies where we had hoped to win a friend . The power of words is like the power of the atom . It can be used the way we like . We can use it to comfort others ; we can use it to hurt others .
A few words of love and affection can have a magical effect and provide heavenly comfort to a troubled soul . On the other hand , an ill - spoken word can cause a wound that would be hard to heal . Therefore , we should think twice before speaking a word because words once spoken cannot be recalled. And our words should be very few , because 'Words are like leaves , and where they most abound , much fruit of sense beneath is rarely found.'
