Cheap Word or Powerful Words
A) Talk is cheap. A penny for your thoughts. Words can never hurt me.
B) The pen is mightier than the sword. Words change. Words hurt.
What is the difference between these two opposing philosophies?
I think, intent, empathy and love.
You can say all you want to say, but without love, words are like "noisy gong or a clanging symbol". Cheap, worthless vibrations that move matter for a moment and are forever dead.
Or with love, words are mighty and their effect is never dead.
Also, words laced with hate can forever make an effect and are equally powerful as positive, loving words.
