Words

What are words?
Something which we use to express every emotion,concept or theory
Something which has a great impact on most living beings,
Which once uttered cannot be taken back
Something which can blow lives in deadly bodies and take one,
Which acts as a sword and can also heal the wounds and the scars.

Something when put together in a bunch creates a sentence, paragraph,story or a poem
Something through which we can explain logic, magic,reality and rationality,
Something because of which we can read,write, understand,be literate and educated
Something which has helped us to associate various ideas,individuals,objects in various ways
Which has brought the world closer,redefined the meaning of life and has largely contributed in governing and regulating the world.
What are words?
The endless talks
The epiphany of connection
Something that tells us the truth and lies
Something which has forever to last.

What would the world be like,without words?
Silent graveyards or a place with signs, symbols,and confused actions.
Would drawings be the only source?
What if even numbers remain unknown?
How scientific formulas and arithmetic progressions would be?
How would people encode and decode the messages and feelings?
How would they express?
How would people understand,history and other subjects?
Would Earth be a horrifyingly humorous place to live in?
