Words

Words are words, for most of us think, to form simple sentences to make up conversation to pass the time or to retrieve information. Hellos and Goodbye’s expressed as gestures of good will. We seldom really listen to those words nor do we seldom use them to make sure that those who need to hear words hear them. We are so fast-paced in this world we forget to say them before it is too late or listen to something someone said before they were gone. Words are the most important tool we are given in this life; they can make us heard, understood, loved, hated, important, belittled, and comforted. They are the lifeline between us and those around us. We must always remember to tell those around us exactly what we are feeling, exactly when we feel. Damn the consequences or hesitation, life is but a fleeting glimmer that we must embrace daily. We forget that, and then it is gone.
