Words have a power that's fearless, and a magic that's unbeatable. They are a precise scale that can kill or bring to life, a remedy and a disease, rain and arrows. Words are eternal; they never die. They have a majesty that can plummet you into the deepest trenches or elevate you to the highest heavens.
Words have the astonishment where a few of their letters can change circumstances, touch hearts, shatter worries, and purify souls. They descend like rain from a divine cloud onto the deserts of souls, turning them into fertile oases. Words can be daggers, mercilessly wounding, relentlessly harming, killing, and weakening. They are the swiftest path to human destruction, a bullet that never misses its mark. They disrupt minds and stop heartbeats. They can break you and weaken your strength no matter how strong you are.
Words can form sentences to create literature, verses to give poetry, and swords to pierce a soul. Some words are a whisper, others a scream. Words can open hearts and land you in prison. They can elevate your status or demean you, attract or repel, give life or take it away.
How many words have dispelled sadness, illuminated a path, delighted a heart, and enlightened a thought? And how many have extinguished hope, shattered a soul, brought tears to the eyes, and cast the world into darkness?
No matter how many days pass, years cross, generations change, or time goes by, the good word always retains its exhilaration, anytime it comes, and in any way it's conveyed. Words are a double-edged sword; with them, God elevates some and demeans others. They differentiate between truth and falsehood, good and evil, purity and corruption. With a word, one can join or leave a religion, build a family or destroy it, enter paradise or fall into hell, and wars can ignite just as it's said: the beginnings of wars are words.
Enlighten people's souls with the kindest and most beautiful words. We'll be held accountable for every heart that was comforted and every heart that was broken, every soul that shone and every soul that was dimmed, every spirit that was rejuvenated and every spirit that was wounded, everyone who went on with life uplifted and confident because of a word, and everyone who staggered through life anxious and troubled because of a word.
