Words

Words are just sound.

They hold significance because we assigned significance to them. The problem with words is people. One person assigns significance to certain words while someone else does not. Another problem with people is intention and interpretation. While one person said something with a certain intention, the recipient interpreted those words differently and assigned malicious intent to them. Here lies the problem. The intent of these words is assigned by the person saying them, not the person hearing them. The person hearing them can only interpret the words. When the hearer assigns intent and not the intent assigned by the speaker, there becomes a problem.

Conflict.

Can conflict be resolved in written words? Not well, as I've experienced. Once the hearer assigns malicious intent to the words I've chosen to use, all the hearer will interpret from me is malicious intent.Best to resolve conflict where facial expressions and inflect can be seen and heard. When words are more than words, but develop a heart and become the soul of what you're trying to express. Words are born. We breathe life into them.

Words become understanding becomes life becomes love.

Why?

I don't know.
