I have always been intrigued by the power of words, and by their value. Their "power" refers to how capable they are of influencing people, their "value" refers to their intrinsic moral weight. Some people are mainly interested in using their words to gain control, to be accepted or feared, to make others believe in them, to establish a kind of verbal supremacy that eventually becomes actual material power. A few are more interested in the spiritual meaning of the message they try to transmit, so by their words they don't expect any material outcome, just a transformation of a character, a newfound life purpose or a worthy motivation. What do you expect to achieve through "your" words?
