For journalists, their pen is like a sword.For politicians their words are their primary weapons.
Power of words can be analysed by the fact that Lord Krishna made sure that Arjun fights against the Kauravas just by mere words.If it dint happen then we might have been studying a totally different mahabharata today!!.
Its the power of words that makes people sit for hours listening to prayer meetings.
Well with the power comes the pros and cons .The pros are that many people get inspired and do miracles.On the bad side,terrorists feed wrong notions into the mind of youth or their men and guide them to terror attacks.
Look at the wonders it makes.It can kill thousands of people and at the same time it can save or make someone's life .Words can manipulate you into becoming a tool others can use.

Their words virtually force you to agree with their point of view, give them what they want,do what they ask and buy what they are selling.
Love, laughter, heroism, friendship, and virtually every emotion we feel as human beings can be inspired by words.
Unfortunately, fear, anger, and hatred, can also be invoked by words.The enormous power of words lies in the MEANING that the words have for you.The words trigger concepts, ideas, memories, situations, circumstances, actions,thoughts and feelings from your subconscious mind into corresponding emotional responses toward the subject at hand.
These emotional triggers have been defined as fallacious arguments because they are misleading and deceptive. While they appear to relate to the subject at hand, they do not.
In most cases they have little to do with the subject at all.
Rudyard Kipling rightly stated:
"Words are, of course, the most powerful drug used by mankind."
