The power of the word is enormous. Although many people say that an image is worth much more, and while in some cases it may be true, we should not forget that when a word comes out of our mouth it has enormous value. Then, however small and insignificant, it can cause great harm or be of great benefit depending on the circumstances of the communication.
Many times we hear the jargon “an image is worth a thousand words”. However, a word can have gigantic power and, when accompanied by more words, it can even overwhelm.
- Therefore.
- It is necessary to pay attention to how we can use the power of the word to put ourselves in our favor.
- We need to understand how this can cause harm or just achieve something from our interlocutor.
- How to make him happy.
The strength of words is so great that it doesn’t take much to provoke deep joy or melancholy sadness, often a phrase is enough to validate an emotion we feel, or a short paragraph that attacks our weakest point.
Who doesn’t have a toxic or manipulative friend who knows how to use words to get what he wants from us, even if we don’t want to?Who has never heard a word full of anger, resentment, pain, rejection, or sadness??
Like it or not, the word is the way most used by humans for the act of communicating, besides, it is an exchange that leaves traces. Who among us doesn’t remember a phrase that caused great pain or illuminated a gray day?
The power of words, however, is not only strong when they want to hurt, but also serve to describe beautiful feelings such as pleasure, kindness, love, and thanksgiving.
In fact, we have been able in the history of language to create some of the most beautiful words in the world to talk about what we love, such as beauty, friendship, solidarity and so many other things that leave us delighted.
What would love be without the word?
It is obvious that the power of the word is enormous to talk to other people about all the good and beautiful things about our lives, and this is probably one of the best uses the word can have.
There are also people who are able to talk, talk and say nothing, some young people, for example, have very empty speeches and can speak for hours, but generally in the end, none of this has added anything to us. are known for their ability to speak for a considerable period of time without drawing clear conclusions from their words.
When these people hold positions of responsibility, they create a mixture of anger, sadness and helplessness among citizens, anger because in your office, as a public representative for example, there is a duty to make sense and demonstrate your actions and proposals through communication. Sadness because it feels part of the society that has put the person responsible and helpless because, despite the efforts, no open communication channel is created.
Finally, I would like to evoke the power of the word for its enormous capacity to produce and transmit lies, trying to capture the attention of the interlocutor to say something that, in reality, is not entirely safe.
Thus, even if no one has explicitly lied to you, we are aware that the lie has a much more faithful accomplice in written or spoken language than, for example, in our actions.
It is a real shame that the linguistic richness we have is repeatedly used to insult, lie, discriminate or distort reality, because no word on this planet deserves to be used for it.
Can speech be a source of beauty, poetry, creation, love, life, can food for the soul and positivism?But, like everything else in this world, there is a dark side that oppresses and tortures, that screams and strangles.
Unfortunately, every day there seem to be more voices trying to get your message out of others by raising the tone or gravity of the actions with which they try to back up your words, attack others thinking that the validity of their message gives enough moral protection to end the lives of those who oppose or remain indifferent to certain words.
The responsibility to exercise and enjoy the power of speech is ours, to use them to create, build, share, caress or kiss instead of attacking, attacking or destroying is basically our decision, decision to practice or censor.
