We live in a world where meaningful words such as love and hate are used so many times that they lose their meanings becoming saturated. We should cherish these words use them with care as if they were fragile. However we use and abuse them. How many times do you actually think about the true meaning of the words you say?
When you say an I love you to someone you should say it with the deepest feeling of your heart, you should want that person to feel all it’s strength never to take it as something normal. There is nothing normal about an I love you, it is probably one of the most beautiful and deep phrases in the world. Nowadays when one is said you don´t stop to appreciate all the feeling behind it, you just take it as a kind saying and continue with your life. An I love you should erase doubt but it doesn´t. Hate has also become so common, used so many times. How? It’s such a powerful word. So strong that it breaks people yet we use it everyday. If we use such a strong word everyday does it make us grey humans made of loath? If you don´t really mean hate why do you say it?
Words you should appreciate and be careful with
Forever
This is a permanent word. It should represent always not sometimes. This should be like a tattoo of the heart. A forever is a promise. You promise you are dedicated to always believing in what you just said. The majority of people think forever means occasionally. This is so hurtful. People have a word that describes an internal emotion and misuse it to make their sentence more powerful instead of carefully choosing the moment for such powerful word people use it just for their needs. Are we this selfish? Or just manipulative?
How are you?
This is normally asked with lack of interest, not wanting a follow up. This question should warm your heart because it brings you happiness to know that person is interested in your life. It is so comfortable to feel someone listening with care. That is not the case, this now is asked wanting a quick answer wishing for none at all. The meaning is lost. When was the last time you actually asked this with care?
I need you
This shows so much importance. The word describes the physical need to have a person to function. It is more than just a want. It is an essential, an obliged requirement for you to function. This is such a beautiful sentence, makes a person feel required however now it is mostly used for describing physical needs or to have temporary company. Do you need me or do you want me?
Promise
The most broken word in our language. This word is used so many times during the day that people forget that it is a contract, you will have to do what you say. People forget so many promises that they break them without thinking twice. They use this word to show they are telling the truth, they use it to make a statement however this word is an agreement. To promise is to assure that what you said will happen. It should be something strong, truthful as well as rarely used because it is your word. Are you made of broken promises?
You are important to me
This phrase is used so many times but it doesn’t have the meaning it should. It is taken as a compliment, something that makes you smile but is easily forgotten. This is so formidable, it shows that the person is essential to your life. It is not a compliment but a truth. This is a commitment, a truth said with no fear. In a wonderful way the person tells the other that they hold a piece of them.
We should learn our words and use them wisely so that they don’t lose their meaning. Words are our form of communication so if they lose their meaning, how can we communicate in a truthful way? Is it really communication if we don´t mean what we say?
