In today's world, we do not realize at all how powerful our words are. They are incredibly lethal weapons each of us owns. The ability to speak, to say something, is really dangerous but it can also form one of the most beautiful things on Earth.
A tachi (太刀) is a type of traditionally made Japanese sword worn by the samurai class of feudal Japan.
Today on 30th of January I woke up at 7 a.m. and made my coffee because my mind was full of thoughts about how cruel we are to other people (the ones who know me well also know when I'm up before 10 a.m. something is wrong). This article was intended to be about the ukrainian conflict with the Russian federation but I changed my mind. I'll try to write something about conflicts of our souls.
How unimaginable things we are capable to say to people we love only because of our bad mood? We do not think about what we say and which words we use in the conversation. In the time of verbal conflict our mind is blind and the privilege to say something has only the anger. You can't imagine how hard for me is to write something like this because people don't have easy life with me and I know it and I'm thankful for them that they still bear me. I also made a lot of mistakes and I often behave like a total fool but that could be the topic for a separate article.
It turns out that the brain receptors for physical and emotional pain are one and the same so, yes, you can have your heart and spirit broken more literally than not. It turns out too that when pain is inflicted intentionally, the hurt is greater — which is all the more reason to pay attention to the words that come out of our mouths. People usually need to win, no matter the cost to the other person, and insist on having the last word. And then there are those who revel in their meanness and love the power their words give them over others and that's not good.
The best word shakers were the ones who understood the true power of words. A lot of people have a problem with the manifestation of their emotions and with the understanding of the empathy. This is usually, but not always, the problem of men. On the other side, words have also energy and power with the ability to help, to heal, to create, to connect, to preserve, to amuse, and last but not least, to correct. With the power of words We can turn the world upside down. It's only upon us if it will have positive or negative impact but I suggest you be careful with your words. Once they are said, they can be only forgiven, not forgotten.
Okay. I'm out and in need of the second coffee…
