We are living in an internet age or post-truth world
where we are constantly overloaded with information. That's an another
debate whether it's useful or useless. However, this post is about words
that has power to reshape our approach to life.
I don't know if you have experienced ever but sometimes words speaks to you when you are in silence. It happens to me a lot. Words have power to desire, to inspire, to attract, to love, to hate, and to live.
The power of words
Words
have evolved through the ages in lockstep with humankind. Perhaps more
than any other factor, it is the mastery of language that sets us apart
from the animal world. But words are slippery things. We often hear
statements such as “those are only words.” It is well-known that they
can be used to inspire as well as to illuminate or deceive. In any
debate, similar language is used by both sides to present completely
opposite views.
Once
upon a time, in a town called far far away, A seller had two parrots
to sell. Green parrot cost more than that of multi colored
parrot who was apparently more beautiful and attractive.
One
buyer was passing through this shop when he saw these parrots and the
price of both the parrots that made him wondered. So he went inside the
shop and inquired about those parrots. The seller confirmed the rate as written on the tag.
The
buyer was surprise at the price difference, the Green parrot costs 1000
bucks while multi coloured costs only 150 bucks. So he asked curiously
to the seller, "why the beautiful parrot costs less?"
Let
me demonstrate you, what you are not seeing. Then, the Seller clapped
near the green parrot. The Green parrot said, "Namaste, how are you
today? wish you a very happy day."
The buyer replied, "I am very well, thank you." and got impressed.
The
buyer was surprised at fluency of speaking words and said, "I understad
now, why the green parrot is more expensive. The green can speak."
The seller said, "So can the multicolored parrot."
