Logophobia
July 11, 2010
I don't think people
completly understand
how much words can
hurt a person.
One word can
rip them apart.
It can deprive them of
every
last
ounce
of confidence they once had.
Their whole world can come crashing
down
because of a
single
conversation.
Their entire life can seem
pointless.
The dictionary
becomes
their
nightmare.
Words have the potential
to
kill.
They have the power
to break
someone down
and make them want
to end it all.
In a moment of
complete
vulnerability
a word
can be more painful
than a
bullet.
