The Power of Words
Often, I find that a word used by someone isnt as important as the feeling that the word invokes, and the feeling with whch the word is said.
Offensive words are the perfect example, in other languages, you may accidently say a word that seems benign by its translation, but because of the the feeling asociated with the word, it can be offensive.
Try saying a swear word in another language, the word has no power to you, but because of the intention and feeling present when it is said, the word is imbued with feeling.
Reminiscent of chinese characters, its a symbol reporesenting a word. The offensive wor is a word representing a feeling or idea.
One of the feelings that can be added is praise or judgement.
