And therein lies the rub.
It isn't so much that the words have lost their power,
but that the ears they are falling upon have lost their
ability to hear any more than what they want to hear.
Too busy to stop and really listen to one another, we
end up with a world in which so many are yelling to be
heard, the ones who are whispering get lost in the din.
And sadly, they're usually the ones who actually have
something worth listening to.
Once we realise that we were given
two ears and only
one mouth for a reason, perhaps the power of words
will be revitalised once again.
