Hello Nimmy:

Yes, words can be powerful and if used in the right way can be inspiring and motivating people in good ways to form kinder more loving realities that will lead to much more healthful and nurturing human commmunity (our shared reality) and used in a negative, manipulative way in the wrong hands...well, the state of our current nations and world.

Take care,
Mike

Yes,as has often been said, "Actions speak louder than words". It's not enough to have knowledge. Knowledge must be put into action.

Kindest and warmest regards,
Mike
