The Power of Words (Final)

Dear Reader,
In the United States and in the world today there are many harsh and hurtful words that are spoken, not just amongst enemies, but in the close circles of friends and family.
Words are very delicate. Words that are carelessly thrown back and forth are never thought out and can be very damaging. People have learned how to contort the words that they speak and use them for their own personal gain. Many times this contortion of words can result in battles amongst ourselves and then can go even as far as being the cause of worldwide wars. The twisting of words not only in verbal communications but also through the communications of the pen can be a nation’s downfall. Take the bible as an example. Throughout history there has been so much controversy over the meaning and the correct usage of the words in the Bible. This one book has split countries apart. All because of the different ways that people use the holy words in the bible to benefit them and their congregation. Don’t think that I am saying that I am against other religions because I’m not. I just think that we could have bypassed a lot of contention if no one had ever changed the Bible’s true meaning. That is the effect words can have. That is the power of words. Words can keep us together or tear us apart.
In my personal opinion words are the foundation for our societies. In all communities we rely very strongly on our ability to communicate with each other. Without language we would cease to be human, we would cease to exist. We need to start with the Home. Parents have the responsibility to get the train going, to start their children on the path to becoming good, smart, well-read, well-spoken leaders. In the long run, the base, the first things a child learns, is what will guide that child through the rest of their life. If children have a good foundation, they will be good people, and good people use words for good. Words used for good, can change the world for good.
If people learned how to use words better and learned how to use them for good, then we would have a better world. The whole start to ‘World Peace’ is to teach everyone how to use their knowledge of words and the powers of words to bring every nation together. It is absolutely necessary to teach this next generation and the generations to come about the effects their words can have on the whole world. If we all want to pull through the time of crisis ahead than we need to train the next generation how to utilize the powers they have within themselves, and how to put it forth for the better, for the good of our country and other countries. Train your brain. Think like a leader and you will be one. Think of the different ways that you can change the world and you will change it. Use the powers you have within yourself, harness the potential, and use it for the good, the better and even the best. The perfect society starts with you. We are the foundation. We are the building blocks of every nation. Our words have that kind of effect. Believe me; it all starts with one word.
