Answer:

Words are hooks to hang meanings on. This can be so even when they are used poetically, when the sounds and rhythms of the words may convey a significant part of the overall meaning. Another use, and therefore a putative purpose for words, is to entertain.

Answer:

Words have energy and power with the ability to help, to heal, to hinder, to hurt, to harm, to humiliate and to humble.". Considering the 'powerful force' of the words we utter, we must discipline ourselves to speak in a way that conveys respect, gentleness and humility.
