The Strength of Words

None of us really know how strong words can actually be until we're effected by them. There are many different ways that words can affect you. Some words and phrases can also be life changing; even the simple words like "I love you", or even "I hate you" can impact someone's life in a huge way.
Our world and entire society is built on words. The Constitution and Declaration of Independence are all made up of powerful and influential words. Words that without them American would not be as it is today. Many peace treaties were also made up of just the right words, at the right time. It is always words that start or end wars, look at what started the war with Iraq; rumors of nuclear weapons, and we're brought into a war that has been going on for years.
Words can be hurtful as well as wonderful. If someone says a rude comment to you, or makes fun of something about you, or something you're proud of, sometimes you never forget it. There are some things you just can't get over, no matter how hard you try, you'll always remember what they said, and how it made you feel. Good words are remembered in a different and better way. You'll remember what they said about you and the good way it made you feel.
Words can build or break. Whether good or bad, every word can change the future of anything, and we always need to remember how strong words can be, and who they will be effecting.
