The Power Of Words So from my Bio you can see that I love words. I really do, I think that everything we say should mean something, because if we go round with the attitude that the words that we say to other people don't mean anything, then we are lying to ourselves. Everything we say means something to someone. Words can make or break the people around us. This is because words are powerful. They have an affect on other people no matter what you do. I've been hurt by words, just like most people have. So you know that those people who say "sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me" are lying, because they do. So don't use them to hurt someone. Instead make someone's day, give them a compliment which you mean. Make your words count.
