&gt; so weak that words hurt you<p>Abstractly, I see the idea that words are intangible and can&#x27;t possibly hurt you. But we are social animals and it doesn&#x27;t work that way in reality. Words can get you loved or hated, married or fired, can put you in jail or set you free, start wars and end them, destroy someone&#x27;s ego and life or elevate it. Words are the most hurtful things there are. The pen is far mightier than the sword.
