I know, I know. All the previous parts discussed what nothing means. Sorry if I have been a little redundant for you, but I don't really care about it. I just want to make sure that you know what it is to me and you're convinced that it's something really important... something pivotal... something you can't live without. Don't want to make you bored from my redundancy, or what I reckon is reiteration, but what I said is true, at least for me.
Now all I want to talk about now is the power of words. I am aware, it's sort of unrelated, but that's important as well. We'll talk about how effective they are.
Based on a true story, a blind man had a piece of cardboard with the words "Help, I'm blind" written on it. A few people threw some pennies in the can next to him, until a woman passed by. She took the cardboard and a marker, and changed the words into "It's a beautiful day, but I can't see it." Eventually everyone who passed by the man threw him coins. He was fascinated for the repetitive sound of coins clunking on the ground. He asked how that happened, and the woman told him everything.
Nothing is a powerful word, too! Like, so powerful. Causing curiosity, suspense, drama, etc... How amazing.
Here were focused on the positivity. Let's move on to the other side, the negative one. Such hurtful words have their own powers as well. They might fill you with different negative feelings and emotions. They might fill you with anger. Some others might give you waves of raw intimidation.
