Word.

In the beginning was the word, and the word was none. It is and isn’t; it fulfills and evaporates. The word was not said but only felt, only seen. It is nothing, yet carries everything. Taking on the weight of all ideas ever made, all concepts ever formed, all questions and answers that ever existed. It is, in the most veracious sense, the word.

In the millennia that passed the word has not changed. It carries on from the beginning of time to its inevitable end. The word will only cease to exist if everything does. Right now, it is with us. As beings of indubitable intelligence, the word is granted to us, as the light of the torch is passed from one creation to another. Its light everlasting, shining even in the darkest depths of the universe.

However, whether unwittingly or knowingly, we changed the word. It grew, it flourished, it became. We unearthed it as though it wasn’t meant for us, but with the determination of human beings, contributing also our inner stubbornness, we forced it out for all of us to see, to feel, and finally, to speak.

What are words but carriers of messages, like the messengers of Ancient Greek, or the umalohokan of the Philippines’ past. They are information. All that we think, do, and say are rooted in the formation of these fundamental units of language. What are we if not for their power, as they hold that with which drives the development of civilizations and wreak havoc on entire races. That is what’s truly terrifying in this world. All of us has the power within us, but only those with a mind brave and strong enough to conjure it into existence can control the world in their hands, leaving the rest to hope and pray that they use it for good.

Words are power, yes, that much is true. As we change what they are, so too does they change us. It is amazing how much we use them in a day and never stop to think how they affect others.

"Words have energy and power with the ability to help, to heal, to hinder, to hurt, to harm, to humiliate, and to humble." -Yehuda Berg

Oh, how haughty has humanity been, to hold such force harboring harshness and hardships for all to handle. How hollow are our hearts, to hatch hate and hastily hinder the success of others, housing a hellish landscape, and hampering hardworking homo sapiens.

Quotes like this bring about change to people’s perceptions in life. They mold worldviews and beliefs, as well as provide a different perspective on thoughts and feelings one might possess. They can bring peace, or hold within them incredible clout. Simple strings of words have been shown to sway even those with unwavering valor, those who possess astounding intelligence, and those with indomitable morals and values. The way that our language is shaped affects the way that we interact with our surroundings, including our fellow human beings.

"Don't ever diminish the power of words. Words move hearts and hearts move limbs." -Hamza Yusuf

In the literature that we, as a collective whole, has made, we reveal the most impressive of all art and thinking. With studies published to textbooks written, we have usurped the knowledge and understanding we so desire. Through words, we have made sense of the world. Through its lenses, we see the reality, our universe, influencing how we perceive it and changing our predisposition on everything.

Language is a basic instrument to articulate and connect, and writing and reading are a vital factor of daily life. Studying how people use language - the unconsciously chosen words and phrases they blend - will make us understand our own language and why we have been doing the same thing. It is important to learn the words made by others not of our own culture and to understand how they evolve over time, as they can allow academics to understand the basis of the special way people interact with each other.

We should talk with mindfulness as we chat, in a way that solidifies unity and kindness in our personalities. Not only do our words count, but the sound we use has an enormous effect as well. There are some principles that all our interactions with others should be driven by. Some of the most important things we will ever comprehend are deciding the meaning of events in our lives, and our duty to choose and find an encouraging meaning. When something happens to us, our ruling on the favorable or unfavorable meaning behind it can be controlled consciously. We are not really aware of our first responses to something, but then we should step in and reframe the context. Select the words that you utter particularly wisely, for they have the power to do almost anything or to ruin almost everything.

The distortion of the meaning applied to different words has created chaos. When used in a negative context, these words can be derogatory, often the emotions could be felt as well as a genuine punch to the face. Humans are the only beings that culminates the power of speech and the written word on this planet, yet we spend more time discovering its destructive potential, in spite of the imaginative potential this force offers us. What we manifest in our lives often influences our mindset. It is our words that are the bold confirmation of our subconsciousness. They affirm our way of seeing people, our lives and us in the world. It is this deep assurance with our words that makes our thoughts manifest into reality.

And so, what is the word? What is that thing that connects anything and everything, that with which made into existence all that we can simply view. At the start of the entirety, foreseeing through all eternity, it stays and it prospers. What is it that from the inner core of our being, inside the deepest center of creation, has been inseparably implanted within us? Who knows, I certainly don’t.
