The last line of attack when all fails are words. Words are important. Words are opinions. Words are labels. Words are control.

Action is better than words, yes. But words stand as the yard stick for measurement. If someone does what they say they’ll do, that’s a positive. A negative for the flip side. To judge character, you need time for actions, but words give the required first impressions that sometimes seal relationships even before it starts. People believe words, maybe much more than action sometimes. Words are what introduces me to you, a stranger. My words, other’s words.

If much is staked on words. It’s power is no surprise then. Which leaves me with a question.

How does one become impervious to words delievered with intention to hurt?
