Power of Words

Words, more than actions, have the ability to darken the soul.

They are like salt scrapped over a fresh wound, lighter fluid poured over a soft flame, or a boulder thrown into a quiet pond.

They disturb the serene aura of an innocent being, causing all matters of evil and chaos to cripple the heart.

Words, like war, turn people against one another. Those that loved begin to hate.

But words can also mend. Used correctly they have the ultimate power to turn what was destroyed into something new; something beautiful and magnificent.

A heart that has been buried by cruelty can be reborn by the whisper of a kind word.

Though tough to forgive once a pure heart has felt the sting of a harsh tone, it is possible to restore with the touch of a gentle voice.

People are fragile creatures like that of the wildflower. It grows in the valley and can withstand even the harshest of storms, but once stomped on it will hardly regain its splendor. So be kind to one another. For each soul is precious and every heart is tender, once broken may take longer to restore.
