FEW WORDS... :-)

There's this song by the singer Akon, which goes like this

" I know that there's some problem,

And I'm not too blind too know,

All the pain you kept inside you,

Even though you might not show."



Last Tuesday, I was listening to this song on my iPod as I was leaving for school. I was about to shut the door when my mother called out for me, asking me to get something on my way back. I didn't hear what she wanted but bluntly answered- "No mom, I dont have time for trivial things". Just as the door banged shut, I heard the above lyrics. I dont know what prompted me but I rang the doorbell. My mom opened the door. I hugged her and asked her wat did she want.



As we go about our daily lives we come accross many people to whom we say many things. We may forget what we said , even if it was a few minutes ago. But can we be sure that what we said

has not the person we were addressing. A few words- though they mean little to people who say them- can hav enormous power.



We must realise the power of words and the power of speech. What we say can have lasting effects on people. This effect can be both positive and negative. It can be concious and subconcious. Whatever the case maybe.... we must realise that words create an impression like no other. Even those who show that they dont care what people say about them ARE affected. They just hide it.

What we say can inspire people around us. It can make them happy. It can lift their spirits. Speech is a gift very few value. Even more so, most of us end up using harsh words and turn this gift into a curse...
