Words

Words connect people with people.
One word makes them happy.
One word makes them sad.
Words are magic.
If we use them right, we can make each other happy and comfortable.
But if we use them wrong, we hurt each other and make each other sad.
Words are difficult.
But we use them everyday.
I want to use them carefully.
I hope to be closer friends with words.


Since he talked in front of his friends about his loneliness as a motherless child, he has changed.
If you can be close friends with words, you can release (you could also use "free") yourselves, and can be close friends with people, too.
You can surely get along with the world.
Your feelings are conveyed properly by words.
