The power of words

"Less is more" - That's one of the famous quote that those from design school taught me. And by the time I understand that, I also realized how powerful a single word can be...

For example, changing your speech from "I told you I 'll be busy." to "I 'll be busy, as I have told you before" would mean entirely different thing to the listener, with the former like an angry yell. On the other hand, saying "I will not be very free" also hint the same idea, but it actually suggest a possibility of being free, which is not bad.

Hence, I guess we will have to choose our world very carefully, as words, however small the can be, can be wings that lift one's spirit up, or knives that cut through them...

But occasionally, words alone can't express certain things. :)
