The words you use are nothing more than labels you give to your feelings, emotions, and moods. They are simply descriptions of your sensory experiences that help you gain a deeper understanding of your life and circumstances.
Your words are, however, nothing more than generalizations you make about reality. In other words, they don’t describe reality “as it is”, but rather describe your understanding of reality as you perceive it to be. Words, are, therefore, general interpretations you make about things.
You give your experiences “life” with the words you choose to use. Things, therefore, don’t really have any meaning. Meaning is only ascribed to things when you assign a label to those things.
Given this, it could be said that words are very much assumption you make that distort your experience of reality. For instance, you will only experience a certain emotion because of the labels you have ascribed to certain words that you have chosen to use.
Yes, words are extremely powerful. They shape your character, decisions, behavior, emotions, and actions.
