Words

Words have no weight or mass, and they cannot be measured in a laboratory. They are not things. And yet, they have the power to start wars, promote bigotry and hatred, foster love, and encourage compassion. They are merely expressions of thought. Although the nature of thought and consciousness has yet to be discovered, we suspect that our thoughts connect us all and reverberate throughout the universe. It’s humbling to think that our very essence has little to do with the material world. Instead of the illusion of permanence dominating our lives, we might consider putting more emphasis on feeling with our heart as opposed to rationalizing with our brain.
