I hope people will link this as a favorite just to get the traffic flowing and help the debate continue.

This idea started in my head a long time ago and has always just sort of hung around.

It is the idea that words are the only things that matter.

Think about it.

What hurts more, getting a needle in your arm or someone you love telling you they don't love you in return?

What feels better, a nice massage or talking to someone you can relate to who completely understands what your saying?

Apples and oranges, I know.

Look at this way. A civilization without words is not civilized.

A book can open somone's eyes and a speech can inspire someone's dreams.

A good word can make your day and a bad word can break your day.

A lack of words from a loved one hurts as much as a compliment feels good.

Words are all we have.

Let the debate begin.
