The power of words

The power of words

The rise of generative AI has made it easier to fill pages and spaces with words.

Although I understand that writers may feel that their job is threatened, I feel that there is a real opportunity to separate those who can only vomit words versus those who can meaningfully articulate words (“wordsmithing” seems like a good term to capture what I mean).

How many times have we heard lyrics from songs that literally saved our lives, or at the least made an absurd world feel more meaningful?

How many times have we read or heard stories where a quote from a character indelibly left a mark in our psyche?

Words are powerful. Magical, even. Because words can communicate insights and meaning. Words can make life more lively.

John 6:60-69. The words that I have spoken to you, are spirit and life.
