Words are Powerful

Word is a communication tool, that's what we've been taught in school. Tools help you accomplish a task, like a spade you use to dig the ground and plant a tree. Words can influence a person to make him act or do what needs to be done. And words are powerful forces for good and bad. Like a piece of valuable glass or dynamite they should be labeled "Handle with care!" Words can be destructive and harmful if handled improperly. Like any tool misused can lead to an accident, words can cause a war or misunderstanding. On the other hand, words can also be constructive and uplifting if properly used. It can give strength and courage for someone who's thriving to survive on a daily battle. It can unify people or promote peace. The power of word is so limitless. Your words and mine as well can be important.

hello, Yeah, your thought is right because they say that it is better to hurt a person physically than words because it is much hurt and cannot be undone anymore. Sometimes people made a mistakes in using there words that is why it leads to misunderstanding and war but words also can treat those wounded heart.

Yes, they are powerful if we can use them correctly and responsibly, they can also be destructive if we abuse them and use them to hurt other feeling. Beware of the power and act responsibly.
