Words are the very darts that shoot ideas and concepts into the depths of our consciousness.
I find their use both a thing of sublime pleasure and pain - words have a power of their own. They lead us into the quest for knowledge, they express ideas and concepts, they plant the seeds of doubt and fear and have yet propelled men to great positions of achievement.
They are as yet a means to an end and some times an end within themselves.
The responsibility for their use an misuse lie entirely in our hands - an unbridled tongue is its own poison.
Great men have advocated thoughts through the medium of these words - Einstein, Hitler, Gandhi - all have effaced words that have impacted our world in no small measure. Sometimes for the better and sometimes not but the effects are as plain today as when they were first used.
Words are the mandate of change for the better or worse - they are the life blood of history - they are the vehicles through which change occur.
