Resonance

One powerful term, used to describe a reaction where a certain object vibrates when there is an external force applied periodically, whose frequency is equal or very close to the natural undamped frequency of that object. I am not referring to the term used in physics though.

How many people can create a resonance in others through words? Delivering a message strong enough to create a violent reaction? A simple speech that can spark the gunfires of war. A lengthy negotiation to control peace among others. Sweet talks that sway the hearts of maidens. Lies that deceives the weak minded. Words alone can change the world, be it those that are chosen wisely, or blurted out of a sudden. When use properly, given the right time and the right place, under the right circumstances, words are one of the worse (or most powerful) weapons that you can use to set events into motion.

Be very careful if you understand the significance of words. Humans are an unpredictable bunch. Choose them with finesse, and you feel its power.
