Absolutely!. Sure, you can construct a sentence of words and say them with an intended meaning, but once they have left your lips you have no control over the consequences of them!.
They are free for people to mull over and dwell upon and take them whichever way they choose!.
Some words will hurt people against your will, other can comfort a person beyond belief!. They are so powerful once they are released into the open!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

i guess they do, even though they are your words that leave your mouth, whoever hears them does what they want with them, you have no choice!. someone could take it the wrong way, an insult, or make something out of them that isnt what you meant!. i guess they have their own life (more like freedom) after spoken, they make people feel different, or better!.!.!.!. they are mystical little things!.!.!.!. thats a tough question, so i hope i helped with my opinion!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

They certainly do!. I made a tape recording of my son's final jazz performance in highschool!. His comments before they played still have the power to bring me to tears, even when I listen to it now!.!.!.12 years later!. There's nothing he could do to change that memory in my heart!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Absolutely!. There are words spoken by someone that will stay with you forever, whether the words were negative or positive!. If the words affect you deeply,
most people never forget the way that someone made them feel!.
