Now one might ask: "What is it in the word that helps, and why does it help?" In answer to this I would say that there is no expression of life more vital than words, because the voice is an expressive manifestation of breath, and breath is the very life. Therefore the word that one says not only has an effect upon another person, but also upon oneself. Every word one says has its effect not only upon one's body but upon one's mind and one's spirit. A tactless word not only offends another - a foolish word uttered can prove to be of great disadvantage to oneself.
