My Thoughts about this Quote:

Oh, the power of words.

It is easy to see that words have power. We pay for them, forgive for them. believe from them, act from them. They influence us greatly.

But what about our feelings, ourselves? How much power do words have over us? And how can one counteract the effect of words?
