Power Of A Word

It's amazing how one little word can change your whole day. One single word uttered nonchalantly; without the slightest of concerns of its repercussions. That word has the potential to swim about in the mind for the entire day. It may delve deep, burrow tunnels and distract you from other mundane tasks of your life.

This has happened to me quite a few times lately. Various words said by various people, without a care and meaning no harm, ate up my sanity and troubled me until I made peace with it. It made me think that although it is just a word, but it has the power to change things; the power to divert the flow of conversations, relationships, and even the menial things. The difference is such that it makes one wonder if we should throw around words we do not really mean quite so often. The listener might take and spin an entirely new tale off it.

The power and potential of that one word to change our entire day from being a fantastic to a morose one is heady. Without realising it, we have the power to utter such a word and change the impending future. We don't have to lift a finger, make world-domination plans or ponder endlessly to change the world. It's so easy. But with everything, it comes with a price. Our conscience might have to pay for it; spraying guilty thoughts against the insides of our soul, and making us slowly wither.

There are two sides to everything, and with this it can make a day or break it. Mine has been broken quite a few times, and been made a few memorable times as well. But the fact of the matter is, nothing can be done. People will say what they want, and we have no choice but to reflect. I guess it all depends if we are pessimists or optimists. I, for one, will always choose to see the darker side of things, because our fears lie in the shadows forever.
